5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely enchanting!
My children love this recording and take turns playing "Brer Rabbit" and "Brer Fox." I am personally enthralled by Danny Glover's masterful reading of this story. It is easy to imagine yourself around a fire alongside a slow moving river while you are listening.

A resounding well-done to everyone who put this one together!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Story but not so good illustrations
This is a great story, but the problem with this story is that the illustrations don't quite catch the mood of the story, in my opinion anyway. The illustrations are bizarre in some ways while the mood is so tone down and mellow. This would have been a great story if it wasn't for the illustrations.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, October 21, 1998
If you have ever heard the record of the story available around the 1950s, you will be very disappointed with this version. The music is inappropriate and intrusive. The story is shortened. What I bought the tape for was to hear the accents of the area in which the story was collected, the strong accents of the south. The story was narrated by someone with almost no accent at all, and certainly not the lovely, unique accents of that area.
