Opis

If it were possible to travel back to the time when horses and carriages, instead of automobiles, swayed up the streets of New Orleans, perhaps we would meet Jane. The title character is an orphan whose background is a mystery to those who take her in. The beautiful little girl grows up through her many adventures in the old city, such as seeing a Boeuf Gras walking through the streets of New Orleans on Lundi Gras (the day before Mardi Gras). Jane's unique childhood experiences give readers a wonderful look at real places and events of days gone by. Mrs. C.V. Jamison has written a timeless story about a child, the people she meets, and the things that she sees as she matures in the New Orleans of times past. The black-and-white illustrations depicting Jane and her friends in old New Orleans scenes and the remarkable story will delight readers of all ages.
