Description
These Mayan fables and animal stories were collected and transcribed by the author from Jakaltek-Maya language, one of the 21 Mayan languages that are still spoken in Guatemala. The stories are firmly rooted in the world of nature, demonstrating and insisting on honesty, understanding and respect among people and their cultures.
