About this Item

First edition, first printing ( no edition or printing stated on copyright page). Octavo: xiv, [4], 301 p. Original tan cloth binding, with pictorial rose and blue stamping. A bit of foxing along the edges. The dust jacket is price-clipped, with some toning and mild wear along the extremities. The book is tight, bright and square with clean unmarked interior. Dobie (1888-1964) gathered stories for this book during horseback travels through the vast unpopulated mountains of northern New Mexico, where he lingered at ranches and mining camps, absorbing the lore of the land. The vaqueros with whom he camped passed along tales of fairies, magicians, and restless spirits.
