The Day It Snowed Tortillas / El Dia Que Nevaron Tortillas, Folktales told in Spanish and English Paperback - 2004 - 1st Edition

by Joe Hayes


From the publisher

Gather 'round master storyteller Joe Hayes to hear tales of wisdom, magic, trickery, and more, from old New Mexican folklore. Side-by-side English and Spanish text.

The 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.

Each 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.

Los cuentos de esta coleccin han sido compartidos durante ms de cuatrocientos aos, desde que los espaoles llegaron a Nuevo Mxico. En manos del ingenioso Joe Hayes, es especialmente fcil ver la magia que ha mantenido vivas estas historias generacin tras generacin. En la historia principal, una mujer muy inteligente salva a su marido despistado de una banda de ladrones, al hacerle creer al anciano que nevaron tortillas durante la noche! El encantamiento contina historia tras historia: un astuto ladrn engaa a un rey para quedarse con su reino y un prncipe encuentra a su amada en una casa llena de malvadas hermanastras. Y por supuesto, escuchamos el antiguo cuento de La Llorona que an busca a sus hijos ahogados por las orillas del ro.

Cada cuento toma vida an ms claramente con una ilustracin del galardonado artista Antonio Castro Lpez. Un til eplogo tambin agrega notas histricas tiles e interesantes para cada historia.
