About this title

About the Author

After the first book appeared in 1880, Joel Chandler Harris was deluged with letters from readers all over the country asking for more stories of Brer Rabbit and his friends--so for the remaining years of his life he collected and wrote them. Richard Chase, noted folklorist and author of Jack Tales and Grandfather Tales, compiled and edited the volume after Harris s death, and his occasional footnotes and word definitions contribute to our understanding of the dialect. Chase s belief in the importance of folktales and Harris s work is summed up in his foreword: "These tales grew up in the soil of our nation. They came from the soul of a people. They endure."

Synopsis

Published in 1877, Tar Baby found Joel Chandler Harris his vocation. It became a classic of American literature and landmark text in the development of black literature. Set in the Georgia swamplands and plantations, Brer Rabbit and Tar Baby battle it out in this surreal world of sassy, talking beasts.
