Mexican Village

by Josephina Niggli, Marion Fitz-Simons (Illustrator), Maria Herrera-Sobek (Introduction)

Overview

This is a collection of ten absorbing stories, rich in setting, tense in action, and warm in their sympathy with the human comedy. The main interest in all the stories is the comedy or tragedy in the lives of the people, but each story has its own enveloping action of excitement and color. Pervading the whole is an authentic folk life--Christian and pagan marvelously mixed.

Originally published in 1945.

Editorial Reviews

The ten stories in this 1945 collection include the traditional storytelling techniques of strong drama, suspense, action, and surprise endings. They reveal life in the post revolutionary Mexico of the 1920s and 1930s. The result, said one reviewer, is "an utterly engaging book by a richly gifted writer.''
