Now that Bushido089 mention it, I remember reading a book about latin american myths and legends or something in my childhood. it was a collection of stories, and I can clearly remember these two : one story involves a princess who got turned into a tree(name is 'thousand-flowers' or something) but can still speak to the protagonist, who battles her enemy king who got turned into a bat. Another story involves a girl eating a corn and one grain speaks to her, saying that he was once a human boy but became a corn(reincarnation or something, I can't remember). And if my memory is right, there was another story involving a man following a turtle to a city(Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro).
If anybody knows the title of this book, please tell us. I can't find it on google or anywhere.
