EVANGELINE A TALE OF ACADIE Special Commemorative Edition

Evangeline is the touching story of young lovers seperated during the deportation of Acadians from their homeland in 1755. It is, as its author Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, "...the best illustration of faithfulness and the constancy of women," as Evangeline spends her life searching for Gabriel who has remained faithful to her. This is a special commemorative edition of the great poem to honor the Acadians, as they celebrate the 400-year anniversary, in 2004, of the first Acadian settlement. Introduction, historical sketch, pronunciation guide and glossary by Francoise Paradis, Ed.D. Foreward and Longfellow biographical sketch by Layne Longfellow, Ph.D. 2004 hardcover, 187 pages.
