The Wonderful Country (aka The Wonderful Country, A Novel) is a 1952 Western novel written by Tom Lea. The book is set in Chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico, and Texas and New Mexico in the United States. It was filmed in 1959.
After the financial success of The Brave Bulls, Lea wanted to write a story that he had been thinking about since he was a child: "...write about this borderland and about the people on both sides of the river".[1]
