A kitchen maid faces a seven-headed dragon; another tale brings an unexpected mouse marriage; a third follows a young man and leaf-cutter ants. Jaime Hernandez reworks three Latin American folktales into comics, with an introduction by F. Isabel Campoy and connections to classic collections by Campoy and Alma Flor Ada.
