About this book
A farmer summoned from his plough to take the Spanish crown opens Charles Morris's collection of historical tales. The story of Wamba mixes royal politics with a miraculous green branch, while the narrator questions how much of the king's reputation belongs to legend. This Spanish volume of Historic Tales follows rulers, soldiers and adventurers through episodes drawn from Spain's past.
The contents range from the Cid and the struggles over Granada to Columbus, the Armada and the siege of Saragossa. A later passage recounts the bitter rivalry between Don Pedro and Henry of Trastamara, showing the personal stakes of a contest for the throne.
