Overview

"In Walking Words world-renowned author Eduardo Galeano draws on the folklore of rural and urban Latin America to discover and retell ""the stories of ghouls and fools that Id like to write."" These tales are beautifully illustrated by his collaborator, the Brazilian woodcut artist Jose Francisco Borges, and become testaments to the power of stories to make and remake and enchant the world."
