Mexican Village
Notes: 491 pages. Niggli's classic novel of Mexican village life. Niggli (1910–1983) was born to Anglo parents in Mexico, and for much of her childhood she went back and forth between Mexico and San Antonio. Her close connection to the land of her birth inspired most of her writing. The novel was adapted into film as Sombrero, starring Ricardo Montalban.
Edition + Condition: A ca. 1960s reprint that is very similar to the first edition. The easiest way to distinguish them is the title page, which in this reprint is surrounded by a frame measuring 5-1/4 inches from top to bottom. A near fine copy in the re-issue dust jacket, which is printed in black on orange paper. Jacket price-clipped and very good.
Publication: Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, [1960s].
