Bayou Charlie is quite a character. He travels all over the state from Bossier City to Slidell to Lake Charles to Baton Rouge. No one ever knows when and where he will show up. He just does. He will listen to your stories and maybe tell you one of his. Bayou Charlie draws a crowd wherever he goes. People run to see him. Bayou Charlie will listen to any story from anyone who will tell it. The young and the old, the old man or woman that everyone thinks is crazy he will listen to what he/she has to say. You never know when a delightful story will be told, or what the source it came from. "Always listen to your elders." His grandma told him, and that is what he does. Bayou Charlie is all for having fun, if none is going on he just may go up and tell a few jokes. Bayou Charlie loves to make people laugh. Even if he has to sing a song off key. That's bayou Charlie, anything for a laugh. And the people love him. If he goes to the casino people will start winning, just because he is there. Bayou Charlie may appear at a night club and ask a girl for a dance and maybe even steal a kiss. (All in fun) Bayou Charlie would never hurt anyone. He usually wears bib overalls open toed shoes and a funny hat. Consider yourself Lucky if you ever run into him. You will not be disappointed. He may be at a bayou near you smiling and walking away.

The short fiction in this book introduces the reader to an interesting assortment of characters. The lead story-Sidonie and the Loup-Garou-features a high school girl who learns it is a good idea to heed the warnings of her Cajun grandparents. The final tale-The Ghost and Sadie Stackpoole- solves the 200-year-old mystery of Jean LaFitte's buried treasure in southwest Louisiana. Sandwiched between these two tales are another ghost, a couple of voodoo dolls, and several women out to teach their men there's a limit to how much garbage they'll tolerate. A famous journalist returns to his hometown for a class reunion and faces down a painful episode from his past. A young wife discovers that sleeping on satin sheets is highly overrated. The story of Little Red Riding Hood takes on a Cajun twist when Ti-Rouge meets up with the kokodree-a big, bad alligator. For entertainment with a Cajun feel, spend a couple of nights with these and other characters in the pages of this collection.

Only in the Bayou State do Louisianans travel door to door on horseback collecting gumbo ingredients for Mardi Gras gatherings. Residents compete in egg pâquer contests to see who can crack their opponent's Easter egg first. Louisiana is a place where frequent collisions with natural disasters can inspire a drink like Pat O'Brien's famous hurricane. And the state's history is filled with colorful figures like Governor Earl K. Long, whose wife committed him to a mental institution--only for him to use his political pull to inspire his own release. Elsewhere these accounts may seem odd or farfetched, but it all happens in Louisiana. Join author Sam Irwin as he details these intriguing Pelican State stories with pithy observations, humorous asides and droll determinations.

I wrote this book of short stories to share the background of my storytelling tradition and the whole village approach of rearing children, that was the custom during my childhood. Through "Daisy's Bayou Tales," I strived to recreate the loving, caring and respectful relationship that existed between parents, family members, neighbors, old and young people on the sunny island known as Morgan City, Louisiana. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
