About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Bonaventure, A Prose Pastoral of Acadian Louisiana by George Washington Cable. Read in English by Christine Dufour This is a gentle, delightful story of life and love on the bayoux of Acadian Louisiana during the latter half of the 19th century. Bonaventure is a Creole raised among the Acadians. He loves learning, and through his calling as a teacher, and his own unique force of character, comes to have a lasting effect on the people around him. A word of warning: This story has occasional references to Jews and African Americans that the modern mind finds offensive. They are retained here in the interest of preserving the original text.
