First edition. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by Zora Neale Hurston on the verso of the front free endpaper. Name to the front gutter, near fine in a very good dust jacket with some unnecessary tape repair to the verso of jacket. Uncommon signed.
Based on Zora Neale Hurston's personal experiences in Haiti and Jamaica—where she participated as an initiate rather than just an observer during her visits in the 1930s—Tell My Horse is a fascinating firsthand account of the mysteries of Voodoo. An invaluable resource and remarkable guide to Voodoo practices, rituals, and beliefs, it is a travelogue into a dark, mystical world that offers a vividly authentic picture of ceremonies, customs, and superstitions.
