"The Enchanted Burro" by Charles F. Lummis is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. Through a series of interconnected tales, the book explores the rich folklore and cultural narratives spanning regions from New Mexico to Peru and beyond. The stories prominently feature a variety of characters, including Lelo, an Indian boy who encounters the titular enchanted burro, and his friend Don Nicolás, as they navigate the challenges posed by witches and mystical creatures in their quest for truth and peace. At the start of the tale, we meet Lelo, an Indian boy, who experiences a peculiar disturbance in his peaceful life as he hears alarming shouts and cries coming from his pueblo. Intrigued and concerned by the ominous sounds, he abandons his work in the fields to seek out the source of the distress. Upon his arrival, he learns about the unsettling deaths attributed to a mysterious enchanted burro, which has been wreaking havoc in their community. As the tension builds, it becomes clear that there are supernatural elements at play, and Lelo’s bravery is put to the test when he decides to confront the dangers associated with the witchcraft whispered about in the night. Thus begins a story filled with suspense, adventure, and the intricacies of local lore, setting the stage for more thrilling encounters throughout the collection.
