- Abstract
- en_US "This book and its companion first volume were printed upon demand. There are three stories here, each about forty pages in length, and each presented in English with a Spanish translation on the facing page: "The Stepmother"; The Woodswoman's Jewels"; and "A Story of Small Magic." There are again plenty of black-and-white full-page illustrations suitable for coloring. The back cover again describes the stories as "simple parables told with careful attention to traditional and modern values." In her afterword for this book, Ross notes that these three stories come not from the fables she heard as a child. "They arose from true incidents observed during the years I taught in a small, rural city." "The conversion of harsh truths into fables is a time-honored tradition. These kinds of stories, even when they have sad or bittersweet endings, give consolation to children whose lives are troubled. The same stories cannot help but broaden the empathy of children traveling through easier lives.""
