Celebrated Country: Peru
A collection of tall tales and fables from across Peru, these stories come from the humid tropical forests to the desert and irrigated costs, ascending and descending through the stunning mountains of the Andes. These tales, from the hands and mouths of peasants and indigenous people, will transport the reader to a world where animals, plants and spirits influence a man's life, a world in which Mother Nature is and where everything can happen.
The Seven Best Peruvians Stories offers a careful sample of the wonderful treasure of mythic narratives and popular stories in Peru. Several of the stories include oral traditions that date back to pre-Columbian time, and all have been passed down from generation to generation until today. This adaptation by Miguel Rocha Vivas, a researcher of the Colombian Andean oral tradition, has been specially made for the delight of children and adults, and is accompanied by illustrations from Peruvian, Carmen Garcia.
Hardcover. Spanish text only.
