Book Overview

""Old Rabbit, The Voodoo and Other Sorcerers"" is a book written by Mary Alicia Owen. The book is a collection of stories and legends from the African American community in the southern United States, particularly Louisiana. The stories revolve around the practice of voodoo and other forms of sorcery, and the characters who are involved in these practices. The book includes tales of witches, ghosts, and other supernatural beings, as well as stories about the power of magic and the consequences of using it. Throughout the book, Owen explores the complex relationship between African American culture and the supernatural, and the ways in which these traditions have been passed down through generations. The book is a fascinating look at a little-known aspect of American folklore, and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of voodoo and African American culture.1893. This remarkable collection takes us more deeply into the tradition of folklore than those which are made on the Grimm principle of �������pleasing tales for the nursery'. It is entertaining and amusing, but nothing has been sacrificed to the latter element, nor are the narrators of the tales made more important than the subject.
