Description: Folktales of Mexico by Neil Philip, Jacqueline Mair Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Magical tales of enchantment and transformation, with context notes and gorgeous Mexican folk art-inspired illustrations by Jacqueline Mair. Publisher Description Drawing from authentic sources, folklorist Neil Philip has created a rich and varied anthology where classic themes and fairytale elements are blended with magic and infused with Roman Catholic imagery to create a distinctly Mexican flavor and flare. The Virgin Mary plays the role of fairy godmother, devils gamble for souls, and witches dance at fiestas with horse hooves instead of feet. As in the tradition of other folktales from around the world, cats, dogs, fools, soldiers and princesses go on quests and have magical adventures. The vibrant, whimsical paintings by Jacqueline Mair are based on Mexican folk art and make these spirited tales just right for story times and a perfect introduction to this little known body of folk literature.
