false 223628 1 The four award-winning Uncle Remus books--now in one volume with a new introduction by Julius Lester<br><br>Brer Rabbit is causing trouble again for his fellow creatures Brer Fox, Brer Wolf, and the rest--this time in an omnibus edition that brings together all the stories from <i>Tales of Uncle Remus</i>, <i>More Tales of Uncle Remus</i>, <i>Further Tales of Uncle Remus</i>, and <i>Last Tales of Uncle Remus</i>.<br><br>The Uncle Remus tales, originally written down by Joel Chandler Harris, were first published over a hundred years ago, and serve as the largest collection of African-American folklore. In this four-book series, Julius Lester masterfully retains the flavor of the tales, while dropping the heavy dialect of the Harris originals and adding contemporary language and references-- ensuring that the stories will be understood and enjoyed by new generations of readers. And, of course, the stories are beautifully illuminated by the slyly humorous full-color and black-and-white art of Jerry Pinkney. The result is a treasure of a volume that will delight all ages and belongs on every shelf. 216579 1 10 1999 Uncle Remus: The Complete Tales total:37|5:22|4:7|3:3|2:1|1:4| 37 153 47 9 1 0 false false Sat Jul 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 16:37:56 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 20:37:54 -0700 2009 to make the tales accessible again, to be told in the living rooms of condominiums as well as on front porches in the South.

Absolutely horribly re-written.

Instead, find the original, un-altered versions of Joel Chandler Harris' works - especially the Complete Tales of Uncle Remus.
