Spanish Fairy Tales
Spanish Fairy Tales by Fernan Caballero
A collection of tales selected from her works. Some tales of fools and tricksters, beast tales, cumulative tales, but mostly fairy tales. I recognize a number of the types, but none of the most popular. A couple show literary influence -- in "The Bird of Truth" the children hear their backstory from birds instead of its being presented in temporal sequence.
