Paperback. Condition: Fair. LYLE SAXON'S TIMELES impressions of colorful New Orleans, first recorded more than half a century ago, not only reveal inherent mystery and frivolity, but also recall the city's elaborate history, spanning more than two cen-turies and three cultures.The various aspects of the French, Spanish, and Creole societies, which continue to define today's city, are documented here through wide-ranging vignettes of daily life and elaborate rituals. A view of the Creole courtyard, an account of the first settlers, and a glimpse of the Zulu parade are typical of the many episodes from which the spirit of the city emerges.The great charm and spirit of the city that care forgot are reflected vividly in the quaint sketches of E. H. Suydam. He portrays the timeless and exotic aspects of New Orleans, along with the carefree atmosphere that lingers today.Saxon's wonderful tales of the city and its people chronicle the splendor, vivacity, and excitement that have always characterized New Orleans. This spirit not only has endured in the decades since Saxon's time, but con-tinues to flourish today.Saxon is also the author of Old Louisiana, Gumbo Ya- Ya, Lafitte the Pirate, and Children of Strangers, all of which have also been reprinted by Pelican Publishing Company. E. H. Suydam (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Lyle Saxon's only novel vividly captures the lives of the people who inhabit the Louisiana Cane River plantation community, which served as a crucible for race relations in the early twentieth century. The story revolves around Famie, a Creole girl whose ancestors-free people of color-rivaled the white planters in wealth and culture.With the end of slavery, Famie is an outcast, scorned by the whites because of her mixed heritage and unwilling to associate with the sharecroppers who are descendants of slaves. An illicit love affair with a white outlaw leaves Famie with a son, Joel. Her dream is for Joel to someday prosper in white society. Famie's struggle to survive within a rigid caste system defined by race and class clearly distinguishes this neglected masterpiece of American fiction.Lyle Saxon (1891-1946) ranks among Louisiana's most outstanding writers. He is also the author of Lafitte the Pirate, Fabulous New Orleans, Old Louisiana, Father Mississippi: The Story of the Great Flood of 1927, and The Friends of Joe Gilmore and coauthor of Gumbo Ya-Ya: Folk Tales of Louisiana.
