"This collection of fantastic tales from South America includes stories of cruel and strange under-sea people (who become seals), an explanation of how the hummingbird got its colors, and tales of witches, evil step-mothers, and of wishes gone awry not unlike European fairy tales. All of which were mildly interesting. I liked better the moments when the author, then a young adventurer making his way across South America, shared those moments when he first heard the tales. This 1925 Newbery winner is illustrated with fascinating and somewhat disturbing woodcut illustrations by the artist Paul Honore."
