About This Item
New York: Longmans, Green and Co, 1927. First Edition. Octavo. 247(1) pp., illustrated in color by Awa Tsireh and others. Awa Tsireh was a famous artist of San Ildefonso and has her illustrations in several well known museums and galleries. The Indian stories are usually told in the Winter's evening. Stories are not told during Spring or Summer as everyone is busy tending crops and other jobs that need tending. The stories within are each headed with a short biography of the storyteller who told that story. A very nice copy bound in beige cloth lettered and decorated in brown and black, spine brown and black, pictorial endpapers, small spot near foot appears to have had a sticker of some sort and there is a shadow, light finger soiling, off-setting from plate on title page. A very nice clean copy without names or bookplates.
