Additional Details

first edition with cover and illustrations by noted Mexican artist miguel Covarrubias (negro drawings, 1927.) A collection of Negro folk tales from Eatonville, her hometown in Florida with an introduction by Hurston's professor of anthropology, Franz Boas. Because of the heavy, brittle paper stock used, this is one of the most difficult Hurston titles to find in an intact dust jacket.
