Cable’s stories take the reader down the Rue Royale into the Creole New Orleans of the early nineteenth century. Madame Delphine, a free woman of colour, guards her daughter’s chances of marriage; Posson Jone’, a Protestant preacher from West Florida, falls in with a Creole dandy; and old houses hold their secrets.
The collection that made Cable famous, and a founding work of Southern local-colour fiction. Download the free EPUB.
