Abuelitos contains stories of daily life in the Spanish Vernacular, retaining the archaic and regional variations and accompanied by English translations. Here are more oral histories of the ranching/farming life, of superstition and religion, and of the struggle to survive in a harsh land. This volume has more stories by women about their activities as providers of food and clothin. Also included are several tales that correspond to Angl0-European fairy tales. They all contribute to a vivid picture of an almost forgotten segment of Hispanic culture.
