Summary: "Told by Uncle Remus: New Stories of the Old Plantation" by Joel Chandler Harris is a collection of folklore and tales written in the late 19th century. It features the character Uncle Remus, a wise and whimsical old man who shares stories filled with clever animal characters, notably Brother Rabbit, as he recounts their adventures and life lessons. The stories draw on African American oral traditions, relaying cultural heritage through humorous anecdotes and moral themes. The opening of the narrative introduces Uncle Remus, who reflects on his life and the changes brought about by the new generation, particularly focusing on a fragile little boy who has a penchant for listening to tales. Remus remains endearing and perceptive, noticing the boy's differences from his father while playfully engaging him with light conversation. Their interactions set the stage for storytelling, blending humor and wisdom as Uncle Remus delights in sharing the whimsical escapades of Brother Rabbit and his friends, which are rich in imagination and charm, offering great insight into the values of resilience and cleverness in overcoming challenges.
