Tar Baby

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Tar Baby, casually published in 1877, found Joel Chandler Harris his vocation. The book was to become an American classic and Harris was to become a key figure in the development of black literature.

Now republished and repackaged by Creation Books, Tar Baby transports the reader to the Georgia swamplands and plantations, and the pre-Looney Toons world inhabited by sassy, talking beasts. Here, Brer Rabbit is the wily hero - duelling both verbally and physically with those who would eat him - and perpetually in the monstrous shadow of the Tar Baby.

Tar Baby, in its original African-American dialect, is a collection of some of the finest of these colloquial tales which frequently verge on the surreal and the grotesque. It is presented as a classic of American literature for both adult readers and children of all ages.
