He was right to be reluctant because when Mr Lion is out he grabs Brer Rabbit and has him as a prisoner when Cousin Wildcat comes along but he tells Brer Rabbit that it is his own fault in releasing Mister Lion. Another rather strange story. Having analysed the plotting, language and characters in her tales, it’s clear that Potter was more than just inspired by these folktales,” Zobel Marshall said. Ah, Brer Rabbit! I had truly forgotten what an evil little git you are! It's clear to me now, after rereading these classic tales, that you are obviously an avatar of Loki.I could not think what to say about what is one of my favourite books that I have just read again, so I took what Joel Chandler, aged five said: “Brer Rabbit Stories collected by Joel Chandler Harris, aged five. They are pretty funny in the middle because he has an idea and says ‘just don’t throw me in’, then he does and at the end, he’s escaped.” Copies of Harris’s Brer Rabbit folktale collections, bearing her father’s bookplate, were found at Potter’s home in the Lake District after she died in 1943. The Green Goblin Book, republished in abridged form in 1951 as Feefo, Tuppeny and Jinks after the characters in the book [3]

Brer Rabbit is a Brave Fellow' sees the hero battling with Brer Fox while 'Brer Wolf's Mistake' involves Brer Rabbit, Brer Wolf and a case of mistaken identity that works in favour of Cousin Wildcat. And 'The Tale of the Silkworms' involves a burglar who runs into the arms of a policeman due to interference by the silkworms! Somewhat bizarre indeed! Runaway Teddy Bear and Other Stories, illustrator Eileen Soper, E. H. Davie et al., Pitkin Pleasure Book Potter herself “never publicly admitted the source of any inspiration for her drawings, plotlines or protagonists”, Zobel Marshall says.

The Play's the Thing, illustrator Alfred Bestall, music Alex Rowley, as Plays for Older Children and Plays for Younger Children, 1940 The other thing that crossed my mind finally all these years is what on Earth does 'Brer' mean? I think as a kid I assumed it was a title of respect, like 'Mr'. But there was also some animals referred to as 'Mr', so it was a bit strange but I never pursued it before. On this reading, I googled it.
