This book had so much greatness going for it in the subject , but the writing kind of put a small damper on it for me. There seemed to be no real passion for the subject. At least it seemed almost like a school assignment.

Interesting Tales of Louisiana

This is an interesting story about the life of Marie Laveau and the New Orleans area. I was looking for more stories about the spells she cast, but those specifics may not be available.
