{"product_id":"9780925417466","title":"From Small Bits of Charcoal: The Life \u0026 Works of a Cajun Artist","description":"This is the autobiography of pen-and-ink artist Floyd Sonnier of Lafayette, Louisiana. Written and illustrated by Mr. Sonnier, the book tells the story of growing up as a French-speaking Cajun in south Louisiana in the 1940s and '50s. The book - which took some 10 years to write and 35 years to illustrate - recounts the way life was for him and his family growing up in a culture whose first language was French, whose religion was Catholic, and whose livelihood was the family farm. The combination of intimate first-person stories and detailed drawings of scenes from days gone by creates an insightful, refreshing new view of a colorful era in south Louisiana history. The text is presented in both English and French. This art book contains 124 drawings.","brand":"Acadian House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028581368048,"sku":"9780925417466","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780925417466_p0.jpg?v=1763865780","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780925417466","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
