ACADIAN CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS

Non-fiction by Georges Arsenault

"If you believe that Christmas hasn't evolved in Acadie over the past 125 years, think again! The book is full of tidbits, testimonials and even copies of newspaper ads." - Brian Cormier

From Lorne Brown, in Pippin, the newsletter of The Storytellers School of Toronto:

Here is another treasure from the wondrous Acorn Press, just released in time for Christmas. Georges Arsenault is a highly respected and loved member of the PEI Acadian community who has previously written other books of Acadian lore and stories.

Arsenault has the happy ability to convey lots of scholarly information and details in a refreshingly unscholarly and personal manner. This book is an "easy read," as they say, almost like having a conversation with a knowledgeable and friendly person . . .

It is an enchanting book . . . and one that should sit on any storyteller's bookshelf, especially any storyteller with an interest in Canada and Christmas.
