Border Lore Folktales and Legends of South Texas

Award-winning translator and author David Bowles brings together twenty-five darkly memorable stories of the southern borderlands of Texas, retold in his unique voice. Ranging from the age-old folktales heard at his grandmother's knee to urban legends collected down the years, each of these narratives is brought to stunning visual life by artist Jos Mel ndez. An appendix classifies the pieces and enumerates motifs.
