Central character of folklore tales by Joel Chandler Harris (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

uncle remus

(Other definitions for uncle remus that I've seen before include "Fictional storyteller of tales set in the Deep South" , "Book of stories" , "Joel Chandler Harris character" , "he told stories" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
