Cuentos de Cuanto Hay: Tales from Spanish New Mexico

by J. Manuel Espinosa and ESPINOSA (Jose Manuel)

Book Overview

In the summer of 1931, folklorist J. Manuel Espinosa traveled throughout northern New Mexico asking Spanish-speaking residents for cuentos de cuanto hay, tales of olden times. Espinosa's transcriptions were published in Spanish in 1937. Now storyteller Joe Hayes makes them available once again, in the original Spanish and now for the first time in English translation.

To read these stories is to enter a world where the devil may come knocking...
