520 $aThe writer Jovita Gonzalez was long a member -- and ultimately served as president -- of the Texas Folklore Society, which strove to preserve the oral traditions and customs of her native state. Many of the folklore-based stories in this volume were published by Gonzalez in periodicals such as Southwest Review from the 1920s through the 1940s but have been gathered here for the first time.
520 8 $aSergio Reyna has brought together more than thirty narratives by Gonzalez and arranged them into Animal Tales (such as "The Mescal-Drinking Horse"); Tales of Humans ("The Bullet-Swallower"); Tales of Popular Customs ("Shelling Corn by Moonlight"); Religious Tales ("The Guadalupana Vine"); Tales of Mexican Ancestors ("Ambrosio the Indian"); and Tales of Ghosts, Demons, and Buried Treasure ("The Woman Who Lost Her Soul"). Reyna also provides a helpful introduction that succinctly surveys the author's life and work, analyzing her writings within their historical and cultural contexts. Book jacket.
