I'm compiling my first book. In this book I have translated several legends, fairytales and stories of my country (El Salvador).

Most of them are loosely based on different books, blogs, newspapers, etc. I have all book names, Authors, Storytellers and Blogs in my notes; however, I don't know what is the best way to add them in the credits.

Should they be added at the end of each story?
Should they be added as a bibliography?
Or in a section at the beginning of the book?

Personally, in the past I have written only scientific papers and technical documentation and for each section I have used the IEEE format.

Nevertheless, I don't think this one will work in my case since I'm not citing anything specific, but the full legend can be based on two sources, for instance:

leyendasdeelsalvador.com/el-griton-de-media-noche creepypasta.fandom.com/es/wiki/El_GritÃ³n

Technically, all stories are mostly my own interpretations since there are not direct translations from Spanish to English of any of them, but I'd like to respect the legacy of all these fantastic storytellers.

Any advice would be awesome.

I would add a paragraph for each story under the story title, then separated from the story by a line or something like that. Like how many cookbooks do it. Sometimes they explain about the recipe, how they discovered it, how their family used it, etc, before giving the actual recipe.

Include the source(s) for the story and any other notes you wish to add.
