Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Grade 5-8-Wrathful and kindhearted gods, giants, mortals, jaguars, and colorful birds are some of the characters and creatures that inhabit this creation story and genealogy recorded in the K'iche' (or Quich?) language in 1558 and discovered in 1701 by a Spanish priest. Children will enjoy this accessible retelling of a story that has largely been unavailable in English. Vivid characterizations, tales of revenge and forbidden fruit, tests of wit and strength, and explanations of why deer have short tails and monkeys live in trees are all here. Full- and double-page paintings rich in color and detail illustrate the volume. A beautifully designed book to be savored on its own or as a source for cultural or comparative studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Child friendly and inviting, February 1, 2009
By epmom (Evanston, IL USA) - See all my reviews
I have a formal, Spanish translated copy of the Popol Vuh and have not gotten around to reading it. Fortunately, once I bought this child friendly copy, I read it every night to my children and finished it in a little over a week. I might otherwise have taken much longer to get to the famed book. I am grateful Victor Montejo created this colorful, easy to read, English version.
