Description

In this lively collection, an elder storyteller shares a series of Southern folktales that follow the mischievous Brer Rabbit as he slips into a farmer’s garden, nibbles the vegetables, and leaves a trail of footprints for the owner’s dogs to chase. The rabbit’s quick wit and daring escape set the stage for a playful chase through fields and fences, while the narrator’s warm, dialect‑rich voice brings the countryside to life. Listeners are drawn into the rhythm of “once upon a time” as the tale unfolds with humor and charm.

Soon the chase gathers a cast of familiar critters—Brer Fox, Brer Wolf, Brer Bear, and Brer Coon—each adding their own brand of cleverness and comic trouble to the mix. Their antics around a makeshift barbecue create a bustling scene of camaraderie and rivalry, illustrating how cleverness can turn a simple garden raid into a memorable adventure. The stories celebrate imagination, resourcefulness, and the timeless appeal of folk humor.
