Halloween - Au chen qui mint des versets sus Les Chorchiers



Bouôn Halloween! Né v'chîn un but en Jèrriais d'la collection "The Toad and the Donkey". Texte: "Au chen qui mint des versets sus Les Chorchiers" (1812)

Something in Jèrriais for Halloween from the chapter "Devils, Witchcraft and Things that go Bump" in the anthology "The Toad and the Donkey". Saint Aubin was, according to the newspaper, in a state of panic in 1812 over reports of attacks by invisible witches. Text of poem here.
