5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful and poetic narative of auther's stay in Alhambra,
By najmi@an.hp.com (Boston MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales of the Alhambra: Cuentos De LA Alhambra/Law of the Four Just Men/LA Ley De Los Cuatro Hombres Justos (Paperback)
This book is a rare personal account of Irvings stay in the Moorish palace of Alhambra. It is not a history book but does touch on history of the Moorish rulers of Alhambra. It is a romanticised account and not always historically accurate. There are beautiful collections of legends that abound regarding the Alhambra in local folklore.

Romanticized version of Alhambra's history,
This review is from: Tales of the Alhambra: Cuentos De LA Alhambra/Law of the Four Just Men/LA Ley De Los Cuatro Hombres Justos (Paperback)
Whoever has had a chance to visit the Alhambra and its surroundings, may complement the experience by reading this narrative of W.Irving. The style is elegant and romantic. Irving is not a historian; he touches on the history of Alhambra as an impressionist painter, historical research and realism are not his concern. There is a series of legends of Moorish lore, which are quite appealing to the young reader.
