Description: Menchu's retelling of the stories her grandparents and parents told presents a rich, humorous and engaging picture of the past. Stories like her grandfather swepting her grandmother off her feet, picking blackberries and secretly eating them with chunks of brown sugar, playing with her siblings in the river and her mother's knowledge of the healing powers of the forest plants.
Notes: Translation: Li Mi'in, una nina de Chimel.
