Brer Rabbit Tricks Brer Fox Again

Julius Lester'southward versions of the Uncle Remus stories are brilliant, as are the illustrations by Jerry Pinkney. Lester published four divide books, all illustrated by Pinkney, which are conveniently collected in a single volume: Uncle Remus: The Complete Tales . A strange feature of the "Complete Tales" edition is that it does not accept pagination for the single volume. Instead, the pagination follows that in the individual volumes, starting over at page 1 again for each of the four books contained in the single-volume edition.
