The book is also illustrated with beautiful black and white drawings that capture the spirit of the stories. Overall, Legends and Romances of Spain is a fascinating and entertaining exploration of Spain's rich cultural heritage.Within the romances of Spain we find that folklore plays an inconsiderable part, and that her chivalric fictions are either the offspring of historical happenings or of the brilliant and glowing imagination which illumines the whole expanse of Peninsular literature. The author makes an earnest endeavor to provide English readers with a conspectus of Spanish romantic literature as expressed in its chivalric novels, ballads and some of its lighter aspects. The reader will find full accounts and summaries of all the more important works under each of these headings, many of which had never before been described in English.

It is difficult to understand the neglect into which the study of the Mexican and Peruvian mythologies has fallen. A zealous host of interpreters are engaged in the elucidation of the mythologies of Egypt and Assyria, but, if a few enthusiasts in the United States of America be excepted, the mythologies of the ancient West have no following whatsoever. That this little book may lead many to a fuller examination of those profoundly interesting faiths is the earnest hope of one in whose judgment they are second in importance to no other mythological system. By a comparative study of the American mythologies the student of other systems will reap his reward in the shape of many a parallel and many an elucidation which otherwise would escape his notice; whilst the general reader will introduce himself into a sphere of the most fascinating interest-the interest in the attitude towards the eternal verities of the peoples of a new and isolated world.
