Puerto Rican folktales


The Three Wishes: A Collection of Puerto Rican Folktales


'The Three Wishes' book has returning characters Juan Bobo, Lazy Peter. Young men vying for the princess in marriage, fighting devil, dragon and witches.
'The Animal Musicians' similar to Town Musicians of Bremen reminded me of The Sky Is Falling
'The Ant in search of her leg' has a sequence of actions that are told in the whole sequence  - Cumulative tale, in the manner of This Is the House That Jack Built.

An Indian Folktale - King and seven sons
