The Grandissimes: A Story of Creole Life is a novel written by George W. Cable. The story is set in New Orleans during the early 19th century and revolves around the lives of two prominent Creole families, the Grandissimes and the Santissimas. The novel explores the complex social and cultural dynamics of the Creole community, including their relationships with African Americans, Native Americans, and Anglo-Americans. The story also touches on themes of love, betrayal, and the struggle for power and influence in a rapidly changing world. Through vivid descriptions of the city's architecture, culture, and history, Cable paints a rich portrait of New Orleans and the people who call it home. The Grandissimes is considered a classic of American literature and a landmark work in the portrayal of Creole culture.As to her infantine bones, they were such as needed not to fail of straightness in the limbs, compactness in the body, smallness in hands and feet, and exceeding symmetry and comeliness throughout. Possibly between the two sides of the occipital profile there may have been an Inc�����an tendency to inequality; but if by any good fortune her impressible little cranium should escape the cradle-straps, the shapeliness that nature loves would soon appear. And this very fortune befell her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
