Br'er Rabbit and the Uncle Remus tales

Br'er Rabbit and the Tar Baby; Br'er Fox, Br'er Bear, the briar patch. The trickster cycle carried out of West African Anansi tradition by enslaved Africans in the American South and collected by Harris in the 1880s. Harris's dialect framing has aged badly; read Julius Lester's retellings (The Tales of Uncle Remus, 1987) for a child of ten.
