Bayou Tales

 

Colonel Possum is proud to present  the books of Mariana Titus!

Oral tradition is very much alive in Southern Louisiana.  Mariana's books are a collection of anecdotes told by today’s Bayou People, influenced by the modern world but still guided by the spirit of their nature-loving ancestors.  Black and white photographs of storytellers, listeners and their soulful environs complement the text.  The reader is left to mix these conversational, poetic and graphic ingredients together like the oil, flour and seasoning of a flavorful roux.
