Worth Buying

I wanted some additional reading material in Spanish and this is a good choice. I would recommend it.

Good Book

Good book. Set up well, spanish on one side, and the exact translation in English on the other side. Nice glossary in the back for every word that I've had a question on. No complaints. Some say that the book is outdated with it's stories, but that's how it's supposed to be. These are not new stories, there classics from all over the Spanish speaking world. I have'nt found any of the language to be outdated, but some is regional, but that's to be expected. ie. Spain, Argentina, Mexico etc.

Easy and enjoyable

Has spanish on one page and english on the facing page. So, you don't need to flip to the back. Has been helpful for my practice. Good choice of stories.

Fun and entertaining

I am still reading this little dual language book. I find it not only fun and entertaining, but also educational because besides learning the language you also learn about the local culture and peculiar language expressions or "old sayings" or proverbs.
The compendium of short stories is great because if you are short on time you can just read a couple of stories as opposed to read a long novel and then after you put it down you have to remember where you left it off when you resume your reading...
The small size is great too so you can enjoy it anywhere.
Do not expect however a literal translation. Sometimes I still need to look at the dictionary for the meaning of a specific word in sentences that were translated for their overall meaning, however it does not happen too often.
I think it is a good buy and certainly worthy the small price.

language buff

Great book. Like the proberbs and short stories. Not sure if I like the fact that the translations are right beside each article. I would have preferred it to the back so the reader/student is not tempted to look at the translations while reading.

Perfect for beginning students of Spanish, this affordable anthology is filled with 41 delightful stories and proverbs based on works of Don Juan Manuel, Luis Taboada, Ricardo Palma, and other noted writers. Complete and faithful English translations are featured on the facing pages of the Spanish text. Exercises are also included.
