Tales from Silver Lands

About this film

LibriVox recording of Tales from Silver Lands by Charles Finger. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers The 1925 Newbery Medal Winner for best children's literature published in the United States, this collection of Central and South American indigenous folk tales holds stories that will still be new to most North American ears. Full of cultural charm, these tales also hold the same degree of strangeness, flights of fancy, and fearful shadows that can be found in the tales of European-based folklore. This book is entertaining for adults as well as children.
