A rich brew of more than 40 traditional Brazilian tales—from
creation stories and stories of enchantment to animal and trickster
tales—draws on the varied cultural traditions of indigenous
peoples, people of African descent, those of European (and
particularly Portuguese) descent, and mixtures of these groups. The
stories are retold by today's accomplished Brazilian storytellers.
Also includes background information on the country and the tales,
color photographs, traditional recipes, and children's games.
Brazil, the largest country in South America, covers a vast terrain
that ranges from the tropical rain forests of the Amazon basin and
upland farms, to towering mountains and sandy beaches; from highly
populated urban centers to virtually inaccessible interior jungle
regions. Its population is composed of indigenous peoples (e.g.,
Tupy, Kaxinawa, Taulipang), people of African descent, those of
European (mostly Portuguese) descent, and mixtures of these groups.
Drawing on the varied cultural traditions and ethnic diversity of
the country, this collection offers readers a rich brew of
traditional Brazilian tales—from creation stories and stories of
enchantment to animal and trickster tales. More than 40 stories are
included, along with background information, color photographs,
recipes, and games. There are very few collections of Brazilian
folktales currently available in English, and none with this depth
and range. This is a wonderful treasury for storytellers,
folklorists, and educators. Also a great resource for educators
planning units on the Amazon rain forest! All grade levels.
