Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
PUERTO RICAN FOLKTALES/CUENTOS FOLCLÓRICOS PUERTORRIQUEÑNOS is the first offering in nearly 50 years of traditional Puerto Rican folktales and legends presented in book form. Rendered as wonderful short stories for both children and adults alike, author Sánchez González researched these colonial stories and has provided updated versions from a contemporary perspective with the beauty, humor, and urgent honesty they deserve. Readers will discover the real story of Yuisa and Pedro Mejías. A tale of a girl who goes on an adventure and rides home triumphantly on a magical horse with a rainbow mane. Talking trees and plants and magical machetes. The supreme goddess, Atabey, and her sister, Katsí, the moon, hovering over the night sky, protecting the young and the innocent. Axé. PUERTO RICAN FOLKTALES will transport, transform and translate to readers a whole new universe of a quintessentially Caribbean culture that's alive and well in Puerto Rico in a bilingual format rendered by Bayrex with beautiful illustrations by Teofilo Olivieri.
