Tomie dePaola's glorious paintings are as luminous as the farolitos that light up on the Plaza in Santa Fe for the procession of Las Posadas, the tradition in which Mary and Joseph go from door to door seeking shelter at the inn on Christmas Eve.This year Sister Angie, who is always in charge of the clebration, has to stay home with the flu, and Lupe and Roberto, who are to play Mary and Joseph, get caught in a snowstorm. But a man and a woman no one knows arrive in time to take their place in the procession and then mysteriously disappear at the end before they can be thanked.That night we witness a Christian miracle, for when Sister Angie goes to the cathedral and kneels before the statue of Mary and Jospeh, wet footprints from the snow lead up to the statue.

Funny Bones tells the story of how the amusing calaveras—skeletons performing various everyday or festive activities—came to be. They are the creation of Mexican artist José Guadalupe (Lupe) Posada (1852–1913). In a country that was not known for freedom of speech, he first drew political cartoons, much to the amusement of the local population but not the politicians. He continued to draw cartoons throughout much of his life, but he is best known today for his calavera drawings. They have become synonymous with Mexico’s Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival. Juxtaposing his own art with that of Lupe’s, author Duncan Tonatiuh brings to light the remarkable life and work of a man whose art is beloved by many but whose name has remained in obscurity. The book includes an author’s note, bibliography, glossary, and index.

Alan Saxon, pro golfer and amateur sleuth, has hit rock bottom. After a disastrous season on the golf circuit, he is hounded by his bank, harassed by his ex-wife and on the verge of losing his current girlfriend. So, when his friend and fellow pro golfer, Zuke Everett, invites him to trade another dreary English winter for a tournament at the posh new Golden Haze Golf Club in sunny California, he leaps at the chance. However, Saxon soon finds himself enmeshed in a tenacious web of violence and intrigue as he attempts to find his friend's killer and free himself from suspicion. Beatings, betrayal and police badgering are par for this, the most treacherous course of Saxon's life. Double Eagle, Miles' second Saxon mystery, with its clever plotting, humor and breathless suspense, will delight readers—whether they golf or not.

n the occasion of Jose Guadalupe Posada's (1852-1913) lucentous centenary, a group of historians and writers reflect on different aspects of his life and work. The book contains essays written by Juan Villoro, Helia Bonilla, Montserrat Gali and Rafael Barajas. Added to this is the study by Mercurio Lopez Casillas, which compiles a significant part of Posada's work, organizing it in chronological order and by stamping techniques. It also contains two sections dealing with the technical transition from lead to zinc and examples of the iconographic sources that served as models for the engraver. It also collects about a thousand reproductions of original periodic prints and dozens of unpublished prints. For the quality of the studies, the design, the selection of work and the editorial care Posada: 100 years of skulls is outlined as the indispensable work of the centenary. 868 illustrations
