'Of all literary fakes this is surely the most impudent, ingenious,
and successful. The Comtesse D'Aulnoy was never in Spain (but) she
was a born traveller. Not without reason have the editors of The
Broadway Travellers included her fiction in their library of fact.
For, despite its falseness, it is intellectually the real thing.'
Saturday Review However her work is judged today, it seems certain
that Madame D'Aulnoy was one of the most widely-read and most
popular authors of her time. Seeing Spain at a strange moment in
her history, it is the end of a great age. The last descendent of
Charles V is king; after him the nation is destined to enter upon a
new phase, under a new dynasty. After reading this journey we see
and touch Spain and the reader can judge the Spanish character from
a witness who saw it.
