160 pp. Translated into English from the original Spanish by Mary Allt, with wood engravings by Zelma Blakely. "Taking place in the years of civil war which followed Juarez's Mexican revolution, it tells the tale of two beautiful women who live in a Mexican village and are looked after by the elder woman's mother. The elder, Manuela, is being courted by a morally upright farmer, whom she despises, for she is really in love with the notorious local bandit-leader El Zarco, with whom she has secret liaisons."
