Dick, I was trying to get away from the arguments about source, and back to the tales themselves. Certainly the telling is important.

Some of the stories from the first volume are on line. Mentioned above a couple of times is the "Wonderful Tar Baby Story," one of those in the xroads website: Tar Baby
At the end of the story is a link to an analysis, which shows some of the interpretations possible. Personally, I go for Harris's own comment, at the end of the commentary. The analyses of the stories should be read together with the Preface and Letter with which Harris begins his volume.

A few other tales are at this website.

The complete first volume is on line, by Gutenberg: Uncle Remus

Reading the book itself is much more satisfactory. Perhaps it is my generation, but I find it very difficult to read books on line.
