Illustrated by
Barbara Cooney.
This is a welcome reissue of a story composed by a Spanish missionary with the assistance of Aztec poets. The familiar story, translated from the Aztec, soars with fresh, flamboyantly reverent images and is illustrated with Cooney's sumptuous paintings. Also available in Spanish.
