Jolie Blonde and the Three Héberts: A Cajun Twist to an Old Tale

Hardcover (Pelican March 31, 1999)

Everybody knows the story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." What's surprising is that the story was originally set in Thibodaux, Louisiana, Goldilocks was known as Jolie Blonde, and the bears were actually a family of Héberts! The Cajun story became Americanized over time. In this return to the original, readers will discover the uniquely Cajun aspects left out of this now familiar tale. For example, Cajuns simply do not eat porridge. They do eat gumbo, and Mama Hébert just happens to make the best on the bayou! Once you finish the story and find all of the differences, prepare this delicious dish with the simple recipe included by the author.
