Travel to Cajun Country. It's like no other place in the world. Thick and lush, an overgrowth of green guards the rim of the waters. Sundown nears. One world prepares to sleep; another comes alive with the chatter of the night.

The swamps swell with creature gossip and what stories they tell: tales of fish with whiskers, and fast flying feet; tales of pirates, buried treasure and ghosts on the lookout; tales of the courting days, corn shucking, strawberry festivals, the fais-do-dos (country dances) and everybody's favorite Mardi Gras; tales of the bayous and the people who live there; who they are and how it all came to be.

Join the fun! As they say in Cajun Country: Laissez les bons temps rouler! Let the good times roll!

THE BOOK:
The Route to Cajun Country, From Buried Treasure to Buried History, Acadian Village visit, Seafood Gumbo Recipe, Catfish farming, Corn Shuck Doll-making, Sailors Knots, puzzle, glossary ... and more!

THE AUDIO:
Rare old tales of the bayous tickle the imagination with the magical style of authentic Cajun storytelling rich in legend and unique in history. This travelogue intercuts the voices of the Cajuns with a simmering blend of food, festivals and music. Days of work and nights of wonder come alive - shrimping in the Gulf of Mexico and the fais-do-dos (country dances).
