Book Reviews of The Favorite Uncle Remus
Book Review: A Classic & For Good Reason
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember as a child sitting at my grandmother's lap and listening to her read me my father's worn copy of the Uncle Remus Tales and I fell in love with the way Brer Rabit outwits the stronger and faster forest animals: Brer Fox, Brer Wolf, and Brer Bear. I loved it so much that I majored in English emphasising in Southern Literature in general and Joel Chandler Harris (the book's author) specifically. A note of warning however, the dialect in this copy is that of the antebellum slave dialect and it takes a little getting used to. But all in all a great book, which is unfortuantely overlooked in our politcally correct era. Too bad!
