Sobre este artículo
Kansas City: Sheed Andrews & McMeel, 1977. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. Inscribed on the title page: "For Lee, who has met coyote. --Barry." An uncommonly on point inscription considering the book is Lopez's telling of North American indigenous Trickster Coyote mythologies based on his extensive research (presented in a bibliographic essay at the rear). His second book. Most of the stories are just two to three pages, and Lopez notes in his introduction that he's taken the license of "rewriting, translating, and adapting" these tales to eschew the stiff language of translation and to make them more accessible to a modern audience. A near fine book in blue cloth with just a touch of sunning to edges; in a very good or better jacket with light wear to corners and spine ends.

Sobre Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
