Oaxaca: The Spirit of Mexico

I purchased this book for a ten year old girl who is facinated with Oaxaca as I also am. I also purchased one for myself, it is a beautiful book and something wonderful to share with others. The illustrations are beautiful and very colorful, it depicts Oaxaca and their people as they truly are.

A wondrous book brimming with festive spirit

Oaxaca: The Spirit Of Mexico is a heady, joyous celebration of Mexican life and culture.

Highly recommended reading for the armchair traveler, Oaxaca is a wondrous book brimming with festive spirit and a deep connection to Mexico's rich past and exciting future.
