Download or read book Legends of the City of Mexico written by Thomas A. Janvier and published by . This book was released on 1979-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico City is an urban setting rife with folktales whispered through the centuries. These old tales of murderers, unfaithful lovers, and infidels rival the imagination of writers today. Legends of the City of Mexico is a collection of some of the more gruesome stories set during the country's colonial era. Author Thomas A. Janvier, a member of the London Folklore Society, went to great length to discover these "historical traditions gone wrong," and uncover the facts behind the myths. Illustrated by six grisly yet remarkable panels by the noted artist Walter Appleton Clark, this book will send shivers down the backs of readers, all the while painting an entertaining portrait of a lost time in one of the greatest cities in the world.
