Soft cover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. Pristine condition. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, Evangeline: A Tale of Acadia, inspired Claude Le Bouthillier to write this award winning epic novel of the Acadian people, the story of his own ancestors. Phantom Ships takes readers back to the final years of the French colony in America: to its joys, its sorrows, its defeats. This is a novel full of adventure and romance, of the love between men and women, the love of the sea and its lore, and the love of Acadian and native peoples for the land. Seller Inventory # 000416
