Reviews
"Transcribed as close as possible to the original, these stories are of great value to anybody interested in Latin American culture." – Prof. Dennis L. Seager, Oklahoma State University
“…the authors recognize the fact that only Quilaqueo can tell these stories in the authentic and meaningful way that a Mapuche such as himself, with ample knowledge of the people, the geography, and the flora and fauna of the region, is able to do…. ” – Dr. Nancy Bird-Soto, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
“This book will appeal to a broad readership of biologists, anthropologists, and sociologists, as well as those interested mainly in literature and legend.” – Prof. Alice F. Echelle, Oklahoma State University
