Folktales of Chile
Folktales of Chile by Yolando Pino-Saavedra
A collection of various types.
Some animals, some religious, some tricksters (not to my taste) but mostly "wonder tales" or fairy tales -- without, of course, fairies.
Variants on Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty (complete with the mother-in-law problems). Variants on more unusual ones. For instance, the tale where the princess is wished pregnant turns into the tale where she betrays her son for a villain whom the son had thought he had killed. Some interesting treatments.
