| Summary | "Nights With Uncle Remus: Myths and Legends of the Old Plantation" by Joel Chandler Harris is a collection of folk tales and legends written in the late 19th century. This work is rooted in the African-American folklore of the Southern United States and features characters like Uncle Remus, who narrates stories involving the clever rabbit, Brother Rabbit, and other animal folk. The tales explore themes of wit, survival, and the dynamics of plantation life. The opening of the book introduces Uncle Remus, an elderly man living on a plantation, who engages in storytelling with a little boy. As a storm rages outside, Uncle Remus recounts a tale about Brother Fox and the cunning ways of the animal characters in their world. The narrative captures an atmosphere of curiosity and amusement, with the little boy asking questions that lead to playful exchanges with Uncle Remus. Through dialogue and vibrant storytelling, the opening sets the stage for a series of humorous and moral stories that reflect the rich cultural heritage of African-American folklore.
