Genre: Multicultural, short stories, humor, folk tales
Pages: 144
This is full of short stories that are folk tales from New Mexico. One was about a wise wife. Another was a Cinderella story. There was also some about a lier and two men in a graveyard and the ghost story of La Llorona. The stories were in Spanish, with the English translation.
I laughed so hard when I read the story about the drunks listening to "St. Peter" and "Diablo" splitting up the souls. But I have two Spanish roommates that grew up hearing the stories of La Llorona and it was fun reading that story and hearing their versions of that story.
