The result of an extensive and meticulous gathering process, this compilation contains a wealth of Spanish folk sayings and proverbs. In these pages, readers will find and recognize vocabulary, expressions, and idioms that have been in use for generations, including Andar a la caza de grillos (#8220;To go hunting for crickets,#8221; or to be worried with matters of little concern) and A mal tiempo, buena cara (literally #8220;Greet bad weather with a good face#8221;#8212;or put a brave face on a situation). Though some phrases have fallen into disuse, the majority continue to be touted as common wisdom. Both kinds, however, comprise an extensive compendium that serves as evidence of an ever-evolving culture and, most importantly, a rich linguistic heritage.
