Summary

Jean-Paul Pierre spends most of his time fishing in Louisiana's Atchafalaya swamp, never making time for his family or friends and never sharing his catch, but one night, he spies a strange blue light--the fifolet--and turns his greed toward finding the treasure the fifolet is said to mark. Includes glossary and the folklore behind the story. "A Cajun Re-telling of the "Will-o'-the-Wisp" Tale! ... Legend says, if you follow a fifolet, it will lead you to buried treasure. One day, fisherman Jean Paul Pierre spots a fifolet, a ball of bright blue gas flitting across the water. Greedy Monsieur Pierre sets out to find the fifolet's buried treasure, but will he find what he seeks? Find out how Jean Paul fares in this spooky and suspenseful tale! The colors of the illustrations sweep and swirl with whimsical strokes, and the overall tone reflects the humid and quiet atmosphere of the Louisiana bayou." --Amazon.com
