By the American journalist born in Eatonton, Georgia who wrote the Uncle Remus stories. The stories, based on the African-American oral storytelling tradition, were revolutionary in their use of dialect and in featuring a trickster hero called Br'er ( Brother ) Rabbit, who uses his wits against adversity, though his efforts do not always succeed. Apart from Uncle Remus, Harris wrote several other collections of stories depicting rural life in Georgia.
