Timeless Stories of El Salvador is a series of fairytales and legends by Salvadoran author Federico Navarrete. The first volume was published in 2020 in Łódź, Poland, and the second was published in 2022 in Madrid, Spain. Both were published independently in collaboration with the Embassy of El Salvador in Germany.
Each volume contains thirty-one fairytales and legends from all over El Salvador. The vast majority were written and interpreted informally on a blog during the writer's stay in Poland. The stories are based on his experiences in El Salvador and books, newspapers, encyclopedias, and blogs he read over the years. This series of books is the first collection of Salvadoran folklore in English.
The stories that make up Timeless Stories of El Salvador, the first series of books by Federico Navarrete, focus on urban, colonial, indigenous legends (from mainly Pipil, Maya, and Lenca origins) as well as stories that have been transmitted by oral tradition for generations. Each story was adapted using cultural intelligence to reach the non-Spanish-speaking population.
The book collection was presented at the Buch Wien 2022 book fair in Vienna, Austria. As well as in a colloquium at the Cervantes Institute of Vienna where Carlos Reyes and Rodrigo Elgueta from Chile, Santiago Roncagliolo from Peru, and Alicia Giménez Bartlett from Spain took part. The presentations were made in collaboration with the Instituto Cervantes of Vienna and the Embassy of El Salvador in Austria. Additionally, in 2023, the series was presented at different events:

The 82nd Madrid Book Fair thanks to the General Consulate of El Salvador in Spain.
E-Day (Spanish Language Day) at the Instituto Cervantes of Beijing in collaboration with the Embassy of El Salvador in China.
