About the Author
Arna Bontemps (1902-1973) was born in Louisiana and grew up in California. He moved to New York City in 1923, and it was there that he met Langston Hughes and other Harlem Renaissance writers. Bontemps is known as one or our major African-American poets, but he is also credited with making black folklore and literature available to the public through his anthologies and through his work as a historian, librarian, and teacher at several American universities.
Langston Hughes (1902-1967) was born in Joplin, Missouri, and grew up in Kansas, Illinois, and Ohio. He moved to New York City and lived on 127th Street in Harlem for most of his adult life. One of the most versatile writers of the Harlem Renaissance, Hughes wrote poetry, plays, essays, novels, and short stories.
Peggy Turley has a B.A. in history from the University of Memphis, where she studied painting and photography. She lives in Memphis and and is the illustrator ofArmadillo Ray.
Cheryl A. Wall is Professor of English at Rutgers University.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Peggy Turley (illustrator). 1st Edition. Written in 1935 as a follow up to their first children's book, "Popo and Fifina" (1932), this is the first publication of this story of two cultures written by Langston Hughes and his collaborator Arna Bontemps. It's a meaty tale of the friendship between an American boy and a Mexican boy and the toy that brings them together. Kids will learn much about Mexican life and culture. There are lots of little drawings throughout the book, but the highlight is the thirteen full page paintings by Peggy Turley, which burst with the bright and vibrant colors and symbols of Mexico. There is an Introduction by Bontemps' son, and an Afterword by Cheryl A Wall, a Rutgers English Professor. A fine copy in a near fine, slightly rubbed and edgeworn dust jacket.
