Sobre este artículo
[New York]: HarperCollinsPublishers, [1993]., 1993. First edition. First edition. Signed by the author on the title page. With an original watercolor drawing on the half title page of a Hano clown "Rainbow Bending" by Ernest Franklin. Fine in dust jacket. In the Tano Indian pueblo a tribal ceremony unfolds. The sacred kachinas have dance and the koshare have tumbled down from the rooftops to mimmick the foolishness of mankind. Initially the crowd laughs, but then something in one of the clown's wagons hushes the crowd --- murder strikes Tano. Housed in the original slipcase.
