Manuel and the Magic Ring

Little Manuel Armijo learns the secret as to why his family farm has always had the most successful crops every year while others in the northern New Mexico village of Velarde have not. His father shares the secret of a Magic Ring with his son and tells him how the ring was brought to New Mexico four hundred years ago from Spain by his ancestors. Does the Magic Ring really have mystical powers. Little Manuel soon finds out.
