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 plantation and forest entourage. Excluding the characters of the told tales, which are largely archived, as regards the characters of the novels and frame-stories extraneous to the Uncle Remus series, preference in cataloging goes to the actual narrators of the tales.
Uncle Remus himself appears as framing device and narrator in all the stories (tales, poems and songs in The Tar-Baby and Other Rhymes of Uncle Remus included), except the ones in On the Plantation, Evening Tales and the novels in the Abercrombie family series (although he is sometimes mentioned by the characters). Uncle Remus is also the absolute protagonist in the stories and the sketches reproduced (with modifications or not) in the secondary sections of the books from newspapers such as The Atlanta Constitution.
The little boy from the canonical series of books, that is the unnamed son of Miss Sally and Marse John who never appears in the sections dedicated to the reprint of sketches and jokes with Uncle Remus from the newspapers, is often addressed by Uncle Remus throughout the narrations in The Tar-Baby and Other Rhymes of Uncle Remus as well. From Told by Uncle Remus on, Uncle Remus' listener is the son of the little boy of the previous books, initially more frailer and quieter than his father at his age, and speaks in and elegant and refined way because of the harsh education given to him. The last book in the series, Seven Tales of Uncle Remus, collects old stories hitherto unpublished or published in magazines and which date back to the period the little boy was still the son of Miss Sally and Marse John. However, we should probably exclude the last Br'er Rabbit story in chronological order, "Rabbit Doesn't Go to See Aunt Nancy", because it was presumably created in 1908, when the new little boy was already active.
