I own a coloured garden figure of Brer Rabbit from the Rountree illustrations. He has never been put out in the garden. He lives by my bedroom fireplace, where he gets a regular dust and polish! My favourite illustrations are the ones by A B Frost.

These illustrations are wonderful! Is it just me though, or does anyone else see a possible Beatrix Potter influence?

I’m an A.B. Frost man myself, but the rabbit chain gain Harry Rountree put together is mighty impressive.

I like all the ones I have seen, I love the colors in this set, while I don’t like the smoking, it is just a part of the history and needs to be preserved.

I can’t decide. I thoroughly enjoyed them all, and also the blogger’s wry comments. Is that a bee hive Brer Bear is toting to the picnic?
