THE GRANDISSIMES. A Story of Creole Life. One vol., 12mo, $1.50.
“The Grandissimes is a novel that repays study. It opens to most of us an unknown society, an unknown world, absolutely fresh characters, a dialect of which we had only fragments before, and it illuminates a historical period that was in the dark.... It is in many respects the most original contribution to American fiction.”—Hartford Courant.
OLD CREOLE DAYS. One vol., 16mo, extra cloth, $1.00.
“These charming stories attract attention and commendation by their quaint delicacy of style, their faithful delineation of Creole character, and a marked originality. The careful rendering of the dialect reveals patient study of living models; and to any reader whose ear is accustomed to the broken English, as heard in parts of our city every day, its truth to nature is striking.”—New Orleans Picayune.
MADAME DELPHINE. One vol., square 12mo, cloth, 75 cents.
“This is one of the books in which the reader feels a kind of personal interest and is sorry that he cannot continue the acquaintance of their people after the volume is closed.”—Philadelphia Inquirer.
