This volume, Tales From South America, tells stories from both first nations peoples and later European settlers in south America. Tales From South America covers a wide range of sources and tales that have emerged from all corners of the continent.

These tales were originally told by fi relight as a way of preserving histories and educating both adult and child. These tales form part of our shared heritage, witches, warts, fantastic nbeasts, and all. They can be dark and violent. They can be sweet and loving. They are we and we are they in so many ways. I've loved reading and re-reading these stories. I hope

that you do too.
