| Summary | "Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings" by Joel Chandler Harris is a collection of folk tales written during the late 19th century, showcasing African American folklore rooted in Southern plantation culture. The book features the beloved character Uncle Remus, an elder African American man who narrates whimsical animal tales to a curious white boy, highlighting lessons about cunning, wit, and the resilience of the underdog, as exemplified by the clever rabbit, Brer Rabbit. The opening of the book introduces Uncle Remus as a storyteller who interacts warmly with a little white boy, illustrating the intimate and cultural exchange between the two characters. The old man recounts stories featuring Brer Rabbit in clever exchanges with other animals like Brer Fox and Miss Cow, emphasizing playful dialogue and dialect while introducing themes of trickery and cleverness. Remus's tales reflect not only entertainment for the boy but also serve as a cultural repository of wisdom and history, setting the tone for the rich folklore that follows throughout the collection.
