In the summer of 1931, folklorist J. Manuel Espinosa traveled
throughout northern New Mexico asking Spanish-speaking residents
for cuentos de cuanto hay, tales of olden times. Espinosa's
transcriptions were published in Spanish in 1937. Now storyteller
Joe Hayes makes them available once again, in the original Spanish
and now for the first time in English translation. To read these
stories is to enter a world where the devil may come knocking on
your door and ask you to marry him--and where your mule can warn
you not to accept the devil's offer! As old as any Old World fairy
tales, these cuentos are also thoroughly New Mexican. An enchanted
frog sits under a cottonwood tree, the king wears a serape, and the
princess eats eggs and garbanzos at a wedding banquet. Parents and
children, folklorists and students, anyone who loves a good tale
will relish this collection.
