«A Prince of Anahuac '' by James A. Porter is a historical novel about the Aztec Empire. The narrative is based upon the Tezcucan historian, Ixtlilxochitl, a brief account of the overthrow of his ancestral government by Tezozomoc, the Tepanec king, in 1418; and its restoration, under Prince Nezahualcoyotl, eight or ten years later. The wonderful experience of Nezahualcoyotl—Hungry Fox—(abbreviated, for convenience, to 'Hualcoyotl) is made the nucleus around which the story is woven.
