Combine classic Mother Goose with a South
Louisiana Acadian setting and the artistry of renowned Cajun humorist Justin
Wilson, and the result is a captivating book that will delight children and
adults of all ages.
For this book, American's formost interpreter of things Cajun has chosen
five familiar stories and 19 favorite nursery rhymes. By applying his
inimitable bayou-country style, Wilson has produces what will undoubtedly
become a modern classic.
"Goldilocks and the Three Crawfish," "The Three Little
Couchons," Petite Rouge Riding Hood," "Three Blind
Possums", and "Jacques and Jill" are just a few of the
recognizable tales and rhymes that receive the Wilson touch in these pages.

Jay Hadley (Coauthor) of Baton Rouge and Errol Troxclair (illustrator) of

look at the Cajun people and their culture.
A well-known gourmet cook and host of a syndicated cooking show on

printings.

Humor.

imatation is indeed the highest form

justin wilson is a southern stable, his character allowed one to understand and appriciate a culture that values good food, good living, and wonderful stories. to compare him to amos and andy is just unfair. he was a good man, and his role as a storyteller and cook is an important one to us in the south. and he lives on in his books, cds, and tv show, none of which slander anyone, much less the cajun people

Justin Wilson's storytelling is timeless

I live in south Louisiana in Cajun country. My father, who will have his 95th birthday May 1, needed a "special present". Since my father has also had a wonderful life as a yarn spinner, I wanted to send him something that he and others would remember! ......I ordered and just received Cajun Fables, and, true to his wonderful story telling style, Justin reigned supreme! My father will love this! Justin does our Cajun heritage justice! .....His recorded tales as well as his written ones will endure for as long as the bayou flows! I recommend this to all who live children's stories. My favorite, Beignet Man, as well as the others put a new spin on all our wonderful children's stories. Kathy
