Louisiana Folk-Tales: In French Dialect And English Translation is a collection of folk tales from Louisiana, compiled and translated by Alcee Fortier. The book contains a total of 50 stories, all of which were originally told in French dialect by Louisiana's Cajun and Creole communities. Fortier has provided both the original French text and an English translation for each tale, allowing readers to appreciate the richness of the dialect and the unique cultural heritage of Louisiana. The stories cover a wide range of themes, from ghostly encounters to tales of love and adventure. Some of the tales are humorous, while others are more serious and thought-provoking. Overall, Louisiana Folk-Tales is a fascinating glimpse into the rich storytelling traditions of Louisiana's French-speaking communities, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in folklore, linguistics, or cultural history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
