Resumen
Cuentos viejos es un libro escrito por María Leal de Noguera, publicado en diferentes ediciones entre 1923 y 1945, que se puede considerar texto fundador de una literatura costarricense dirigida a las jóvenes generaciones. Constituye una colección de cuentos de hadas, que representan un caudal de conocimientos y sabiduría atesorados en muy diversas regiones del orbe. Para demostrar su vigencia, se hace un análisis de uno de los cuentos: "La mano peluda" y se descubre que este texto dialoga con mitos muy antiguos: la historia griega de Eros y Psique y una narración hindú del Panchatantra, en la cual se describe el amor de la ninfa Urvasi y el mortal Pururavas.
