Nasario Garcia continues to mine the rich vein of folklore that still survives in the stories of former residents of this remote valley. Like his earlier book, Recuerdos de Los Viejitos: Tales of the Rio Puerco, 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 clothing. Also included are several tales that correspond to Anglo-European fairy tales. They all contribute to a vivid picture of an almost forgotten segment of Hispanic culture. Contents in Five Chapters: Life Pranks and Laughter A Man's View, Slices of Life Survival and Surrender A Woman's Perspective, Superstitions Witchcraft and Wailing Women, Magic Lies and Miracles, and Women Wealth and Romance.
