    Here are two from Guatemala. They contain very local tales from the villages around Lake Atitlán. All of the tales originate from speakers of Mayan languages.

    The book on the left is Spanish-English. The other one has Mayan languages-Spanish.

    They have a lot of traditional elements, but since they come from communities with 500 years of Spanish influence, there’s no doubt some borrowed elements mixed in.

    Two books:

THE DOG WHO SPOKE and More MAYAN FOLKTALES 

EL PERRO QUE HABLÓ Y MÁS CUENTOS MAYAS 

EDITED AND TRANSLATED BY JAMES D. SEXTON AND FREDY RODRÍGUEZ-MEJÍA STORIES TOLD BY PEDRO CHOLOTIO TEMO AND ALBERTO BARRENO
