Kate Chopin, whose stories have deservedly won much praise, has chosen her field among the rural Acadian French of Louisiana, whose patois is not the same as that of the New Orleans Creoles, and whose traditions are quite distinct. This volume is altogether delightful and takes its name, 'A Night in Acadie', from the title of the first story. There are twenty-one tales in all.
