Translated by David Unger.
Illustrated by
Domi.
With Dante Liano. Ixkem, a seven-year-old Mayan girl, is selected to be caretaker of her grandfather's vast cornfields. After inadvertently calling up the b'e'n spirits, she's brought underground to tell stories. Though the prose is generally flat (and seldom in the voice of a child), some of the tales, thoughtfully presented, might have appeal. Bright, primitivist illustrations accompany the text. Glos.
