Spanish legends retold by the poet who is to Spain what Poe is to America - the moonbeam, the green eyes, the organist of Seville who plays after his death. Bécquer died at thirty-four and was famous only afterwards. This edition is bound with sixty plates of painting from 1835-1925, among them Rafael Romero Barros, Christian Skredsvig and Carlos de Haes, in the translation by Cornelia Frances Bates and Katharine Lee Bates.
