The book presents a series of legends that reflect the rich cultural heritage, history, and traditions surrounding the city of Mexico. Each story encapsulates a unique aspect of life in Mexico, interweaving elements of morality, the supernatural, and historical circumstances. The opening of the book introduces the premise of its collection, emphasizing that these legends are genuine folk narratives passed down through generations. Janvier explains his dedication to preserving these stories, highlighting their origins in both fact and imagination, and the significance they have in reflecting the societal beliefs and customs of the time. He also shares personal anecdotes about the sources from which he gathered these tales, including the insights provided by local women steeped in oral tradition.
