The folklore section contains proverbs, medical lore and other superstitions, poetry and tales. (Click on the image for a larger view.) The materials are in Creole and in French; there are no English translations:
There are even selections from La Fontaine's French fables translated into Creole!
So, if you are curious about Louisiana Creole, this bilingual collection of proverbs, folktales, and poems is a fun wayt o indulge that curiosity!
