List of Uncle Remus characters

This is a list of recurring and/or significant fictional characters in the Uncle Remus books and those in one way or another connected to Br'er Rabbit and his forest and plantation entourage. Uncle Remus himself, and a couple of boys to whom he tells the tales, appear as framing devices and narrators in all the stories. The stories of Uncle Remus' visitor Daddy Jack often also include unnamed stock roles such as a daughter, a foolish bird, a man, a mother, a snake, a wise bird, and a witch.

In the collection The Tales From Daddy Jake, the Runaway, & Short Stories Told After Dark, Uncle Remus also uses unnamed stock roles including a miller, his wife, and a preacher (in "How a Witch Was Caught"); a man and his wife (in "The Foolish Woman"); and a slave and master (in "Death & the Negro Man").

In the collection The Tales From Uncle Remus & His Friends, Remus uses an unnamed king (in "The King That Talked Biggity"); two unnamed men, one who fools the other (in both "According to How the Drop Falls" and in "The Man & His Boots"); and an unnamed protagonist who acts foolishly but grows rich anyhow (in "A Fool for Luck").

In the collection Told By Uncle Remus, an unnamed man, wife, and magical dinner pot appear in the story "The Hard-Headed Woman".

In the collection Seven Tales of Uncle Remus, an unnamed woman squares off against a witch baby in "The Baby & the Punkins".

Evening Tales. Done into English from the French of Frédéric Ortoli by Joel Chandler Harris, 1893

Joel Chandler Harris, Little Mr. Thimblefinger and His Queer Country. What the Children Saw and Heard There with illustrations by Oliver Herford, 1894. (This book and the sequel (Mr. Rabbit at Home. A Sequel to Little Mr. Thimblefinger and His Queer Country, Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1895) they are often omitted from Brer Rabbit chronologies but contain new stories of the character and his entourage, some of which will later be rewritten in dialect. Chandler Harris created two books separated from Uncle Remus storyline because he wasn't "sure they were negro stories; some are Middle Georgia folklore stories, and no doubt belong to England; and some are merely inventions.")
