paperback. Condition: Good in Worn Wrappers. New York. 1996. Collier Books. 1st Collier Books Paperback Edition. Good in Worn Wrappers. . 253 pages. paperback. AS 481. Cover design by Peter Max. keywords: Voodoo New Orleans. FROM THE PUBLISHER - A SPELLBINDING ACCOUNT OF THE BIZARRE PRACTICES OF A STRANGE, AND CULT. Marié Laveau was the Voodoo Queen who bewitched and bemused New Orleans with black magic and Voodoo rites, the likes of which had never been witnessed before and have never been seen since. As no true story of Voodoo would be complete Without a full account of the incredible Laveau, Robert Tallant combed the streets of New Orleans, gathering together fragments of her story and those of the other memorable Voodooiennes who were responsible for promoting and preserving the cult. The author traces the history of Voodoo from its origins with the snake worshipers of Africa through its heyday in nineteenth-century New Orleans to the flourishing practices of the present day. The truths and the legends, handed down from generation to generation, are all herethe sensual Voodoo dances, the gris-gris, the crosses of death, the black candles, and the love potions and lodestones. Mr. Tallant has overlooked nothing in weaving this spellbinding tale of the strange religion still practiced in the dark of the night in New Orleansand elsewhere. Robert Tallant was born and raised in Louisiana and has written many articles and short stories based on the lore of the state. During his investigation of Voodooism, he witnessed, he believes, every type of contemporary Voodoo ceremony. inventory #47928.

First Edition
First Edition. First printing. 8vo. 21cm x 14.5cm. Publisher's brick red cloth boards. Dustjacket. Titled and decorated in green to spine and front board, sharp and clean, some light minor edgewear, in a bright and dramatic priceclipped pictorial dustjacket with some edgewear and creasing, a semi-circular closed tear to the upper front panel and some shallow chipping and loss to extremities. A very presentable copy, not often seen in dustjacket. 247pp. Internally clean and fresh,decorative endpapers with the bookplate of D.E. Frye to the front pastedown. This copy has the added distinction of being signed by Tallant to the title page. A fascinating, if neccessarily sensationalist, evocation of the history and significance of "Voodoo" in New Orleans, from the earliest traces to the domestic realities via Marie Laveau, and the difficulty of separating the myth from the truth. Robert Tallant, a white collector and preserver of Louisiana folklore and cultural peculiarity, eandeavours to remain as truthful as he can within the limitations he possesses. With a foreword by his longtime friend, collaborator, and fellow New Orleans folklorist Lyle Saxon. Scarce thus.
