"Folklore Figures of French and Creole Louisiana" by Nathan J. Rabalais; LSU Press; 256 pages

In "Folklore Figures of French and Creole Louisiana," author Nathan J. Rabalais examines the impact of the state's remarkably diverse cultural and ethnic groups on folklore characters and motifs during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Establishing connections between Louisiana and France, West Africa, Canada and the Antilles, Rabalais explores how folk characters, motifs and morals adapted to their new contexts in Louisiana.
