Seven playful folktales follow the adventures of the crafty Brer Rabbit, the wily Brer Fox, and the dumbfounded Brer Bear, introducing young readers to the original humor and wisdom of traditional African lore. The chesspieces have been intricately carved to show the colorful characters while retaining all the charm that had been written into the stories so well.

A special note about all of our Limited Edition Chess Sets:It is most relevant to point out that our Limited Edition products are not made using a mass-production technique utilizing inexpensive latex molds as many others are. Every one of our pieces have been made individually by the hand of our supplier's sculptor using a different process [more consistent with pewter sets]. This process shows up much more intricate carving detail and imperfections where they exist! Latex molds have a tendency of 'smoothing out' some of the detail in the carving, particularly because they can swell slightly in the curing process. For example, even a thumbprint would show up using our technique and we believe capturing the entire carving art is so very important!This detail difference may not be too obvious from a web page comparison. As a result there are slight differences between the sets of the same type in terms of coloration and detail. Overseas customers the US Dollar has fallen!
