Stories of Enchantment consists of seventeen stories by nine of nineteenthcentury Spain's most wellknown authors, and demonstrates convincingly that, although it had no Charles Perrault and no brothers Grimm, it maintained a rich oral vein of folktales and fostered stories in written form that are in keeping with the European tradition. Fernan Caballero in Andalusia and Antonio de Trueba in the Basque country steep themselves in local folklore to find inspiration for their morality and fairy tales; Luis Coloma's inventiveness inserts morality into fairy tales; Gustavo Adolfo Becquer and Juan Eugenio Hartzenbusch sweep the reader into a world of enchantment, as does Pedro Antonio de Alarcon with his chariot ride; and Juan Valera, Benito Perez Galdos, and Leopoldo Alas evoke mystery, wonder, and the fantastic with tales that show they excel in short as well as long fiction.Contents9 Translator's Preface (Stories of Enchantment from NineteenthCentury Spain) essay by Robert M.
