Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich brew of more than 40 traditional Brazilian tales—from creation stories and stories of enchantment to animal and trickster tales—draws on the varied cultural traditions of indigenous peoples, people of African descent, those of European (and particularly Portuguese) descent, and mixtures of these groups. The stories are retold by today's accomplished Brazilian storytellers. Also includes background information on the country and the tales, color photographs, traditional recipes, and children's games. Brazil, the largest country in South America, covers a vast terrain that ranges from the tropical rain forests of the Amazon basin and upland farms, to towering mountains and sandy beaches; from highly populated urban centers to virtually inaccessible interior jungle regions. Its population is composed of indigenous peoples (e.g., Tupy, Kaxinawa, Taulipang), people of African descent, those of European (mostly Portuguese) descent, and mixtures of these groups. Drawing on the varied cultural traditions and ethnic diversity of the country, this collection offers readers a rich brew of traditional Brazilian tales—from creation stories and stories of enchantment to animal and trickster tales. More than 40 stories are included, along with background information, color photographs, recipes, and games. There are very few collections of Brazilian folktales currently available in English, and none with this depth and range. This is a wonderful treasury for storytellers, folklorists, and educators. Also a great resource for educators planning units on the Amazon rain forest! All grade levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seven Schwabians is a series of German folktales, first recited in song by Hans Sachs in 1545. The fables relate the many misguided adventures of seven Schwabian would-be heroes oft portrayed as innocent or foolish. Such tales have been told and retold over four hundred years with the storytellers exaggerating, adding or subtracting events, people or monsters as the creative mood strikes them. As this work is loosely based on Grimm's 1837 version, stories have been arranged to allow for a better flow into a single long tale which includes many shorter stories seldom available in print. In the honored tradition of many storytellers of old, I've embellished the stories and made substitutions or added details as my imagination dictated. To allow one of our seven brave explorers to escape his fate as in other books, the last tale is newly penned.
