The sun lights the day and the moon lights the night, and morning seldom
breaks to find them both up in the sky. But when the moon does stay up
past dawn, the people of Oaxaca, Mexico, have an explanation: "The moon
was at a fiesta." Once again, Matthew Gollub and Leovigildo Martínez
have created a sumptuous original tale set amid the rich folk culture of
Mr. Martínez's own Oaxaca--a tale as exhilarating as a moonlit fiesta
full of music, tamales, and paper lanterns.
