Wonderful tales for any age
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I first got this book when I was in the 4th grade. Thats right, the 4th grade. It is an excellent compilation of above average stories. Ancient tales like the "Calabash Man" and "The Tale Of The Gentle Folk." These stories can be appreciated across the board by all ages. The fantastic wording creates vivid pictures in the mind, and slips a moral in while you're not looking. I struggle to describe my appreciation for this wonderful compilation of tales. It is still my favorite book, since the 4th grade, and I'm in college. So it just goes to prove my point.
A great, fast, easy read

This book has a collection of South American folk tales about witches, etc. It is written very well and can be read without having to reread and comprehend more of the page.
