[EJ Daniels · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although this version excises the frame stories of Uncle Remus and the Boy, Van Dyke Parks and Malcolm Jones have nevertheless managed to capture the original feel of the Uncle Remus stories in a framing which will not upset the delicate sensibilities of many modern readers.

The crowning achievement of the Jump series, however, is the incredible artwork done by Barry Moser. It is deeply evocative, marvelously detailed, and a true feast for the eyes.
