I requested this book from the library based on someone's recommendation, I thought from this board. I can't find the OP when I do a search! Am I losing my mind?

Stories from the Americas, collected and translated by Frank Henius, illustrated by Leo Politi. I think it was MaryM or Jen who recommended it. It includes the story of Our Lady of Altagracia, much more "accurate" than the picture book.

I found a copy when I heard the recommendation. The stories are wonderful, and the illustrations are icing on the cake. Wikipedia mentions that this book was a turning point in Politi's style of art.

Thank you!

Yes, the book is beautiful! It's on my wish list.

I'm so thankful that I am able to view a lot of the recommended books through our ILL system!
