Brujas, Bultos, y Brasas: Tales of Witchcraft and the Supernatural in the Pecos Valley [Spanish]

This elegant book with its 20-odd contributors from tiny villages on the Upper Pecos Valley is almost as attractive for the photos of the tellers, most in their 80's, as the meticulously transcribed Northern New Mexico dialect and excellent translations. The stories are commonly-told little morality tales and pieces of gossip that involve supernatural power, the intervention of the devil in our lives, or activities of local brujas. A chunk of American life that many of us cannot imagine actually exists.
