Book Review of The Spell of New Mexico

The Spell of New Mexico
reviewed on


A rich gathering of essays that evoke the unique and mysterious appeal New Mexico has had for some of the twentieth century's best known writers. Included are selections by Mary Austin, Oliver La Farge, Conrad Richter, D. H. Lawrence, C. G. Jung, Winfield Townley Scott, John DeWitt McKee, Ernie Pyle, Harvey Fergusson and Lawrence Clark Powell. Edited by Tony Hillerman. Hillerman's preface and introduction are choice specimens of his incisive humor and his own deep love of the state.
