Editor’s Note This book uses the term Mexican folklore to refer to narratives from the wide variety of cultures rooted in the land we now call Mexico These narratives are drawn from diverse indigenous European and mixed origins The word folklore is an imperfect term as it can imply that the stories are not true This book aims to share these tales with the utmost respect to their original roots and to those who hold them sacred today Barefoot Books would like to thank Claudia Guadalupe Martinez for her invaluable input on this revised edition To the people of Mexico who have proudly and generously shared their vibrant culture with me M-J G Throughout time for my Matthew and Sky M C G
