John Bierhorst is the author, editor, or translator of more than thirty books on Native American lore, including Latin American Folktales, The Mythology of South America, The Mythology of North America, and The Mythology of Mexico and Central America.
John Bierhorst's later collection of Inca folktales has a far greater number of tales. This book was fun but very short and easy to get through and a lot of the stories can be found in other places (including Bierhorst's other works).
