Uncle Remus spins more stories for the little boy: the creatures’ barbecue, Brother Bear’s big house, a race, a flying trip on Brer Buzzard, a gold mine, the moon in the mill pond, and how Mr. Lion lost his wool. The tales rest on African American folklore, told in heavy dialect within a plantation frame whose racial attitudes are those of 1907.
A short late collection of the trickster tales that shaped American folklore, best read with its history in mind. Download the free EPUB.
