Sassy, sassier, sassiest! That Brer Rabbit was the back-sassiest critter in ten counties and it got so Brer Fox just couldn’t bear it another second.

Follow the adventures of crafty B'rer Rabbit and his friends in seven playful folktales with roots in traditional African stories.

I am advised by my publishers that this book is to be included in their catalogue of humorous publications, and this friendly warning gives me an opportunity to say that however humorous it may be in effect, its intention is perfectly serious; and, even if it were otherwise, it seems to me that a volume written wholly in dialect must have its solemn, not to say melancholy, features. With respect to the Folk-Lore scenes, my purpose has been to preserve the legends themselves in their original simplicity, and to wed them permanently to the quaint dialect—if, indeed, it can be called a dialect—through the medium of which they have become a part of the domestic history of every Southern family; and I have endeavored to give to the whole a genuine flavor of the old plantation.
