PREFACE
As the author himself says in his Dedicatoria, a picture of Mexican life is here offered, not as seen in large cities, which are much the same all the world over, but in remote rural districts, "en las montañas." The tale is idyllic, but in spite of its romantic spirit it presents a vivid picture of rural life in Mexico.
The text of this story is taken from the Fifth Edition, in the
Biblioteca de la Europa y América, Paris, 1891.
