I used to read these stories from The Tales of Uncle Remus: The Adventures of Brer Rabbit as told by Julius Lester to my kids and the kids in our afterschool program. I believe that audiobooks carry on the oral storytelling tradition that is central to our understanding of who we are. Enjoy the voices of these characters so many of us have grown up with and laughed with.
It is with deepest gratitude to Julius Lester for his permission that I share this story. Julius Lester has recorded his Uncle Remus stories at recordedbooks.com.
You can find a link to the print version of the book on my Amazon Recommendations page.
