In 'Brer Rabbit and Mister Lion', the latter is trapped in a cave and reluctantly Brer Rabbit helps him escape. He was right to be reluctant because when Mr Lion is out he grabs Brer Rabbit and has him as a prisoner when Cousin Wildcat comes along but he tells Brer Rabbit that it is his own fault in releasing Mister Lion. Another rather strange story. The other thing that crossed my mind finally all these years is what on Earth does 'Brer' mean? I think as a kid I assumed it was a title of respect, like 'Mr'. But there was also some animals referred to as 'Mr', so it was a bit strange but I never pursued it before. On this reading, I googled it. I was amazed to realise how little comment there has been over the years about the many similarities between Potter’s tales and the Africa-originated Brer Rabbit folktales”, Zobel Marshall said. Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years. Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic. Notable series include: The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find-Outers, Noddy, The Wishing Chair, Mallory Towers, and St. Clare's. Potter herself “never publicly admitted the source of any inspiration for her drawings, plotlines or protagonists”, Zobel Marshall says. Hollindale argued in his lecture that this may have been because she “misunderstood her own talent and, to the end of her life, was afraid of being caught out as a cheat”.Having analysed the plotting, language and characters in her tales, it’s clear that Potter was more than just inspired by these folktales,” Zobel Marshall said.
