The Maiden's Tale by Margaret Frazer

The Maiden's Tale by Margaret Frazer

A sixteenth century Aztec text sends out a clear message that death did not signify the end, but symbolised the transportation to another world. Nathalie Ragot traces the origins of this concept of the other world', beginning with texts and iconographic evidence dating from the 12th century to the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century. Her study includes an assessment of death, burial, grave goods, funerary ritual and myths surrounding the deceased within central Mexico, later comparing it to belief systems in other South American cultures including the Maya.

Margaret Frazer is the author of the Sister Frevisse Medieval Mysteries series, which includes The Servant's Tale and The Prioress' Tale, both of which were Edgar Award nominees for Best Original Paperback. She resides in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
