Side-by-side English and Spanish text.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tales in this collection have been shared for over four hundred years--since the Spanish reached New Mexico. In the hands of witty Joe Hayes, it's especially easy to see the magic that has kept these stories alive generation after generation. In the title story, a very clever woman saves her silly husband from a band of robbers--by making the old man believe it snowed tortillas during the night! The enchantment continues in story after story--a clever thief tricks a king for his kingdom and a prince finds his beloved in a house full of wicked step-sisters. And of course, we listen to the ancient tale of the weeping woman, La Llorona, who still searches for her drowned children along the riverbanks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach tale is further brought to life by an illustration from award winning artist, Antonio Castro Lopez. A helpful afterword also adds helpful and interesting historical notes for each story.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLos cuentos de esta colección han sido compartidos durante más de cuatrocientos años, desde que los españoles llegaron a Nuevo México.
