PREFACE
As the author himself says in his
Dedicatoria
, a picture of Mexicanlife is here offered, not as seen in large cities, which are much thesame all the
world over, but in remote rural districts, "en lasmontañas." The tale is idyllic, but in spite of its
romantic spirit itpresents a vivid picture of rural life in Mexico.
The text of this story is taken from the Fifth Edition, in the
Biblioteca de la Europa y América, Paris, 1891.
