“Stories from Latin America” is an interesting collection of traditional stories/fables/history from Latin America. Some were much more interesting than others, of course, but overall it was an interesting read. I used it as part of my self-designed Spanish language learning — the left side is in English, the right page is in Spanish. It could, of course, be used by native Spanish speakers learning English. For anyone not interested in learning Spanish, it would be easy to simply read the stories in English.
There is also a glossary in the back, however, it is easier to just look at the accompanying translation on the facing page. I found it works best to read it first in the language you are learning and only looking at the facing page in your native language when you need to confirm your understanding.
Three words that describe this book: traditional, storytelling, Latinamérica
