In a Mayan version of an old Spanish tale, a poor prince comes to the house of Witz Ak'al, the Lord of the Forest, who sets him a series of impossible tasks, in which he is helped by the Maya demigod's daughter, Blanca Flor. - Baker & Taylor
A traditional Latin American folktale follows a young suitor, who, in his attempt to win the hand to Blanca Flor, the daughter of the Lord of the Woods, must overcome a series of trials to prove his worth. - Perseus PublishingThis popular folktale with Spanish origins features Wâitz Akâal, the Lord of the Woods, a cacique (king) who commands both the natural world and the city; and his beautiful daughter, Blanca Flor, who also can command the forces of nature to get her way. When a suitor arrives to court her, he must survive a series of trials set by Blancaâs father to prove his worth. Deer instead of horses act as both animal servants and the alter egos of the king and queen. Wonderfully magical, White Flower with its strong female protagonist is set at the time of the classic Maya civilization, with gorgeous watercolor images of pyramid-cities in lush jungles.
