The region of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado holds a
unique place in the world of Spanish folk literature. Isolated from
the rest of the Spanish-speaking world for most of its history
since its first settlement in 1598, it has retained, even into our
own time, much of its Hispanic folkloric heritage from the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-ballads, songs, poems,
folktales, sayings, anecdotes, proverbs, riddles, and folk
drama.
In this book, written in the late 1930s and never before
published, Aurelio M. Espinosa, New Mexico's pioneer folklorist,
presents the first comprehensive, authoritative account of the
relict folklore, bringing together the results of his collecting
during the first third of this century, in the Southwest and in
Spain, and his many ground-breaking scholarly studies.
