I really enjoyed reading the legends of Latin America. As I‘m slowly learning Spanish, these legends were accessible but not corny, and the English translation was on the left page, Spanish on the right. Not too difficult of vocabulary, and a good variety of verb tenses. 16 short stories were a great length to develop the plot but not overwhelming. Recommend for those who are learning and don‘t want to read about people shopping or traveling.
