Children's Stories

<p>This anthology is a panoramic view of all my children's stories written at different times and on different themes and genres. Among the themes there is a wide range of stories about love death life life after death courage innocence envy etc. Among the genres there are tales realistic surrealistic fantastic popular etc. Some of these tales fit very well with the narrative technique of magical realism; others are based on folklore beliefs and superstitions myths and religious beliefs. There are allegorical tales and historical fiction. But for the most part these stories are based on my own experience on events and situations I have observed throughout my life as I have found myself in different places and circumstances. </p><p><strong>Horacio A.
