In addition, I've been harvesting images from public domain sources: illustrated editions at Flickr.

OVERVIEW
Frame and Dialect
One of the biggest barriers to reading and enjoying the Brer Rabbit stories is the "eye-dialect" which Harris used when he published the tales, along with the minstrelesque use of Uncle Remus to frame the stories. At this site I have removed the Uncle Remus frame and the eye-dialect from all the stories; each story also contains a link to the original book online so that you can compare the two versions.

Diigo
I've also built a Diigo Library for this project and my other story-collecting work using tags for the different sources. For example this link shows you the Joel Chandler Harris stories, and this link goes to the stories from Jones's Georgia Coast stories. You can also do Boolean searches with multiple tags, so here are all the stories from Jones's book that have summaries. Enjoy browsing!
