Over the past century, Pelican Publishing has celebrated Louisiana lore by giving world-famous tales a Cajun twist. Sheila H bert-Collins's fairy tales have been beloved standards of this tradition, making Pelican's hundredth birthday the perfect opportunity to bring five of her delightful classics together for the first time.
After a jealous voodoo queen lures poor Blanchette into the Atchafalaya Swamp and Jolie Blonde samples Mama H bert's gumbo, it's easy to forget that Snow White and Goldilocks weren't always in the bayou alongside Cendrillon (Cinderella), Les Trois Cochons (The Three Pigs), and even 'T Pousette et 'T Poulette (Hansel and Gretel)
As lagniappe (something extra), an enchanting recipes and a handy French glossary is included with each tale.
