Uncle Remus's Tales about Little Rabbits

A long time ago in North America lived Brother Rabbit. This trickster and prankster became famous for the fact that none of the animals could compete with him in cunning. The new collection of amusing and instructive tales from Uncle Remus will introduce readers to the adventures of the restless Brother Rabbit, as well as Brother Fox, Brother Turtle, Sister Frog, and Brother Sparrow. These and many other African-American folktales, filled with folk wisdom, were recorded and edited by American writer and folklorist Joel Chandler Harris. The wizard of the brush, Igor Oleinikov, a laureate of the Bologna Children's Book Fair and author of over forty children's books, has loved Uncle Remus's tales since childhood. He personally selected the stories for this collection. His beautiful illustrations, conveying the humor that permeates the book, will please not only children but also adult connoisseurs of true art.
