The Huntsman and the Witches
Everlasting Tales is a collection of multicultural fairy tales and folktalesâhonoring the stories passed down through oral tradition by refreshing and preserving them for new generations.
THE VILLAGE ELDERS ALWAYS WARNED: WHEN AN OWL HOOTS AND A CAT HISSES, DANGER IS NEAR.
Once upon a time, greed drove a Huntsman deep into the woods in search of a wild boar. As darkness and rain crept in, he ignored each sign to turn around.
When he stumbled upon a hut, the Huntsman kicked open the door and left a mess within.
HOO? HOO? HISSS! HISSS!
The sounds grew louder; something was coming. Then suddenly . . . all went silent.
The Witches had arrived.
And they were hungry.
In the third book of the Everlasting Tales collection, Pura BelprĂ© Award Winner Abraham Matias retells the darkly whimsical Mexican folktale of an arrogant hunter who ends up in a cabin full of hungry witchesâwith illustrations by Caldecott Honor-Winning illustrator Molly Mendoza. Back matter includes an author's note and a condensed tale in Spanish for bilingual readers, perfect all year and during Latinx heritage month and spooky season celebrations.
