DESCRIPTION - This handsome book is a magnificent all-inclusive account of the Mexican people, their colorful, dramatic and ancient traditions and ways of life, worship, work and play. It is filled with tare and wonderful stories of saints, heroes, cowboys, bandits; descriptions of exotic dances and fiestas; accounts strange customs and ceremonies. All the folk arts - pottery making, gold and silver work, carving, weaving, hand-drawn work, etc. - and all the ritual arts are thoroughly described and lavishly illustrated in color, line drawings, and photographs. Included also are over 100 songs, with music, and word in both Spanish and English. Many of these songs and much of the music, directly transcribed by Miss Toor or her associates, have never before been published. Likewise many of the legends, accounts of dance ceremonies and fiestas and the collection of sayings and insults have never before been available to the public. On the other hand, Miss Toor, who is regarded as the premier authority on Mexican Folklore, has searched all the authentic sources for material including the ancient Spanish Chronicles, the Codices, etc. Like A Treasury of American Folklore this is nothing less than an encyclopedia, a longtime book packed full of meaty useful information, rich with good reading and human interest. FRANCES TOOR is one of the world's great folklorists and is the supreme authority on Mexican folkways. She is a Professor of Folklore at the University of Mexico, author of Mexican Popular Arts, Guide to Mexico and a number of other books on Mexican subjects. A native of the United States, she first went to Mexico about twenty-five years ago, for a visit. She was so fascinated by the country, became so absorbed in the colorful life of the Mexicans, that she just stayed there and has lived in Mexico ever since. She participated with her friends, Diego Rivera, Carlos Chavez, Qrozco, Siqueiros, Cardenas, and the others, in that amazing and magnificent Renaissance that has taken place in Mexico in recent years. She has traveled all over Mexico to the seldom-visited, out-of-the-way back country, observing and recording the customs and traditions of the people. For about ten years she published that excellent magazine Mexican Folkways. She has been working on A TREASURY OF MEXICAN FOLKWAYS for over fifteen years and regards it as her life work. illustrated with 10 Color Plates, 100 Drawings by Carlos Merida and 165 Photographs. inventory #14685 Previous Owner's Name Penned in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket.

[Mexico] TOOR, Frances. A Treasury of Mexican Folkways. New York: Crown Publishers. 1947. First Edition. 8vo; Cloth with original decorated dust jacket. 566pp. Many black and white illustrations and photographs, as well as some color plates. An extensive listing of Mexican art, religious beliefs, ceremonies, folk arts, fiestas, holidays, music, dance, myths and folk tales.

Toor was an American woman who dedicated her life to spending time in Mexico to learn the culture and customs, becoming a historian for the Western world. In the preface, Toor discusses the poor Western image of "poor and uneducated" immigrants and how that stereotype is sorely untrue which is why she seeks to write about the vastly diverse and rich cultural truths within the confines of Mexico itself.
