A Devolution of Terror
An account of the ancient superstitions in the Alpilles in Provence, and their ongoing presence in traditional story and ritual
“King René of Anjou, the laughter-loving Count of Provence, seeking to divert the melancholy of his beloved wife, Jeanne de Laval, turned the old-time-Keltic terror into gay new fetes: the games of the tarasque. These games are still played. The tarasque—a monster of wood and canvas….now goes through the sunny streets of Tarascon….”
