Description
Excerpt from Louisiana Folk-Tales, Vol. 2: In French Dialect and English, Translation
The tales are given first in the Creole dialect, then in a faithful but not literal translation, as it is desirable to preserve the interest of the story. The study of the Creole dialect is of importance and interest, and the tales have been carefully written in Louisiana dialect, in order that the material may be of use to the philologist.
In the Appendix are reproduced fourteen stories already published in 1888 in the Transactions of the Modern Language Association of America, and in the Journal of American folk-lore, to the end that the reader may have in one volume a complete collection of Louisiana folk-tales.
