Fernández Guardia, Ricardo. Cuentos ticos. $2. Burrows bros. co.
These ten short stories of Costa Rica, have been translated into English by Gray Casement. The author, who is a writer of reputation among Central Americans has strikingly set forth the social, political and religious ideas of Costa Rica in these brief narratives, which combine both pathos and humor. There is a good introduction by the translator; there are also many illustrations of street and country scenes.
“Although here and there reminiscent of Castillian story tellers, the tales and the style in which they are related make one wish to know more of Señor Ricardo and his works.”
