Description

La Llorona is the ghost story that surpasses all others. For generations, it has captured the imaginations of both children and adults in Mexico and the United States.

Author JOE HAYES tells the story of the jealousy and fear that condemned a beautiful woman to an eternal search for all she lost. At first it seems to be just a scary story, full of mysterious events, which causes children to sit close, completely fascinated. But it is the simple and universal wisdom at the heart of the story that works like magic on their hearts.
