(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jacqueline Mair & Jacqueline Mair. In these retellings of Mexican folktales, humans interact with supernatural beings, and good eclipses evil. Religious figures, including the Virgin Mary, predominate. The fifteen stories vary in length from five lines to several pages, and detailed source notes are appended. The acrylic illustrations highlight key elements from each tale and re-create the vibrant, contrasting colors of Mexican folk art. Bib.
