Apologies for the play on words, as I’m sure that Miss Jane Austen would not have envisaged black ostrich feathers on a parasol for a well-respected lady.  I, on the other hand, am immediately drawn to early 20th Century New Orleans, with it’s gris-gris dolls, potions, talismans, magic and mystery.  Oh, and spells  – – –  the casting of spells!
