Two things combine to single out this book of tales as worthy of
special attention. The tales were written six centuries ago, yet
they are both interesting and instructive; and the life of the
author reads like a fable.This man of royal blood was statesman,
politician, and above all, warrior. He is, in fact, known as one of
the most vigorous, turbulent, and dangerous barons of his time.
Only during lulls between his great activities did he become
author. He made writing his diversion, according to his own words,
because he felt this to be more worthy of a gentleman than wasting
his time at games.Yet, in these fifty pleasant stories, Don Juan
Manuel has produced one of the highlights in Spanish literature,
both as to content and as to style. This edition is intended to
bring Don Juan into the libraries of those who enjoy the unusual
when it is also good.
