Description

This inspired collection of stories brings to light the rich legends of the Texas missions, from the 17th century to the 19th century -- tales of love and grief, peril and salvation, determination and hope. A mysterious woman in blue visits the local people to prepare them for the arrival of the Spanish; a magical padre always seems to turn up at just the right moment to help courteous strangers in need; a bell rings with the sound of true love. Kimmel gracefully retells these and other powerful legends behind four of the missions, each enhanced by a beautifully evocative full-color painting by Susan Guevara. Reinforced binding.
