Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Spanish Legendary Tales In speaking of myself on the title-page as the "author" of "Round a Posada Fire," I wish to explain that I use the word "author" simply in default of a better one. In that book, as in this, the stories told are popular in their character, and are the creation of no nameable individual. All given in the present volume I gathered in the course of a residence of several years in the Pyrenees, and of one or two visits in the north of Spain. Those from whom I heard them (and many more of the same kind), and whom I questioned as to their origin, could assign no other source to them than oral tradition. My own share in bringing them before the public consists in having heard them, remembered them, and put them into English in as nearly as possible the words in which they were told to me. Though I have from time to time been obliged to insert connecting or introductory passages, yet the words, as well as the substance of the tales, are mainly those of the original stories. I need not remind anyone at all familiar with the popular life of Spain, that the prose legend, as well as the ballad, has in the course of time acquired there a fixed and definite shape; and passes from mouth to mouth, and is handed down from one generation to another, with but few verbal changes.
