Dunbar-Nelson’s 1899 collection is set among the Creoles of New Orleans and the Gulf coast. A girl prays to St. Rocque to win back her lover, a fisherman of Pass Christian meets an opera singer, an old violinist must sell his treasure, and a praline seller, a nun and Carnival maskers move through the streets and bayous of the old city.
An early landmark of African American literature, rich with the music and manners of Creole Louisiana. Download the free EPUB.
