Abstract
Carmen Lyra published “The Stories of my Aunt Panchita” in 1920. In successive editions, she added stories about her Uncle Conejo (Uncle Rabbit), stories which had been published previously in literary magazines. In 1922, María Leal, published “Old Tales” which also included stories about the same character, mixed in with other universal folklore tales. In previously published literary magazines, up until the 1950s, the stories of Uncle Conejo continued to appear, with a very similar style and set of adventures to those published by Carmen Lyra; some of the tales were published anonymously.
