A lovely gift book filled with vibrant color photos and elegant historical text: "The fleur de lis exists exists in the dreams of a people who share a love of place and a sense of history. These dreams vest in the mysteries of a land where chil-dren dig for buried pirate treasure; where moss drips from ancient oaks; where outdoor festivals erupt on weekdays; where magnolias blossoms fill the air with sweet perfume; where shrimp boats spread their wings; where brothers delicately-balance pirogues through the opaque mazes of backyard bayous; where an order of oysters-on-the-half and jambalaya proclaim that it is Friday afternoon; and where the score includes the drumbeat of Senegambia, the very roots of jazz. Whether in response to disaster or during grand celebrations, the fleur is present as a symbol of resilience, pride and home." - Morgan Molthrop
