Popol Vuh: A Sacred Book of the Maya

85 pp. | Groundwood | May, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-88899-334-X $$19.95
(2) 4-6 Translated by David Unger. Illustrated by Luis Garay. It is unfortunate that this edition of the Popol Vuh is not more comprehensive in its source notes, but the book itself contains a rich array of creation myth, pourquoi stories, and trickster tales, daunting in toto but rewarding in glimpses. Dramatically lit paintings will engage a browser's curiosity. A glossary is included, but a pronunciation guide would have been helpful.
