The Fox & the Crab and Other Stories is a collection of fairy tales and nursery rhymes for children, and it represents an effort to recover and disseminate a small sample of the abundant works originally published in Spanish language newspapers in the United States from the end of the 19th to the first half of the 20th century. As part of an expansive historical and literary body, this book is an example of a meaningful heritage tradition rooted mainly in Mexican culture, assuring the continuity of language, traditions and ways of experiencing the world. These stories and poems originally written in Spanish reflect common aesthetic norms and linguistic practices of that specific historical period. Accordingly, during the translation process a considerable effort was made into preserving the literary expression of that period. At the same time, and in some instances, there were vocabulary, word order and punctuation adaptations to smooth out and make the reading more enjoyable and accessible to today\u2019s young readers. More than ever in our modern world, it is essential for children to experience and acquire the ability to communicate across cultures and to expand their social and emotional skills. Reading works such as these, plays a role in the development of a confident, sensitive and empowered child. In a broader context, this collection intends to gather the voice of our ancestors and strengthen the presence of a living culture across geographical, temporal, and linguistic borders. <\/p>\n
