Description


This Combo includes both the Uncle Remus book and audio CD.

To order the book or CD separately, go to the category “Bestsellers” or “Classics” in the menu to the left.

Note that CD is for MP3 compatible devices.Uncle Remus was a fictionalized, friendly old black man who told plantation tales to an admiring young boy on a plantation in middle Georgia during the 1880’s. But Uncle Remus still lives as the most famous personality of all Georgia literature. As literature, these stories are a unique record of Afro-American animal folklore. As social history, the tales contain a melancholy undercurrent about the changing postwar South and a nostalgia for gentle values of the past. But the fact that the tales entertain is, after all, the only justification they have ever needed. Sixty-four favorite stories are printed here with some of the original illustrations.
