In the following years he developed his own plantation mythology in a series of volumes, narrated by Uncle Remus' telling colloquial tales of the wily hero Brer Rabbit and his clashes with the villain Brer Fox. Tar Baby is a collection of some of the finest of these often surreal and grotesque stories, and is presented as a classic of American literature for both adult readers and children of all ages.'
