Aurora Lucero-White Lea

4.9/5 (27493 ratings)

Description:Juan Bobo was a muchacho, a small boy, who lived in Santa Fe when New Mexico was still a Spanish province. Nobody knew just what neighborhood he came from, but one day he appeared at the Governor's palace and caught the Governor's imagination with his quick tongue and ready talent for pranks. It was Juan Bobo who proved to the Governor that women are not always good, noble, and sweet. It was Juan Bobo who told the Governor why it is that white hairs appear on the head before they appear in the beard. It was Juan Bobo who escaped the wrath of the Gobernadora, the Governor's wife, with his wit and speed of thought and body. And perhaps he was such a fool as the Spanish name "Bobo" would imply, for when the women of New Mexico asked for a place in the Governor's councils, it was Juan Bobo who told the Governor what to do, and how to reply to them. The tales in this book tell the tales of Juan Bobo and the Governor of New Mexico, capturing the flavor of New Mexican folk tales from which these episodes were adapted. Each of Juan Bobo's exploits stands out with a clarity and naturalness like that of the sun on an adobe wall. The short Spanish vocabulary interwoven in the narrative adds to the spice with which Spanish customs are portrayed. The flashing white teeth and mischief-making soul of Juan Bobo will delight every young reader, just as they charmed the Governor of New Mexico. And few older readers will be able to resist warming to the antics of this engaging muchacho of Santa Fe.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
