Download or read book POPULAR BASQUE LEGENDS AND TALES 13 Children s illustrated Basque tales written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume you will find 13 illustrated Popular Tales from the Basque region of Spain. Here you will find tales like Aquelarre, Arguiduna, The Song of Lamia, the Prophecy of Lara, the Virgin of the Five Towns in which mermaids, heroes, magical horns and ghosts abound. If you have ever travelled through the province of Galicia in North Western Spain, you can’t fail to notice the Celtic influences in the region’s art and culture. So it is therefore not surprising to also find the story of Jaun-Zuria - A Prince Of Erin included in this volume. So take some time out and travel back to a period before television, or even radio for that matter, to a time when families would gather around a crackling and spitting hearth and granddad or grandma, or an uncle or aunt, would delight and captivate their audience with stories passed on to them from their parents and grandparents. This collection of Basque legends, fairy tales, ballads, and popular stories having their origin in the ancient traditions which formed a portion of the sacred inheritance bequeathed to the Basque people by their forefathers, and handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. These tales constitute the archives of the Basque people, the treasures of their science and of their beliefs; they are the records of the lives of their forefathers, the landmarks of the grandeur of their past history. In the midst of the great revolutions which have agitated the whole of Europe, causing radical changes, levelling to the ground or converting into ruins great empires, powerful nationalities, monuments; sweeping away languages, and even the very races themselves--the Basques have somehow passed unscathed through the many storms of devastation, preserving intact their nationality, institutions, laws, language, and customs.

Download or read book PATRA AS 50 Illustrated Legendary and Traditional Spanish Stories written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-09-08 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literal translation of “Patrañas” is humbug or nonsense. When used in the context of folklore and legends it can be taken to mean tall stories In seeking inspiration to create a book, in essence a story, it is seldom found in one item or a single occurrence, but more often when a number of these coalesce into a climax of sorts, resulting in a “Eureka moment”. And so it was with the creation of this volume of 50 illustrated Spanish Traditions. It all happened thus……In the course of one of her rambles through Spain in the late 1800’s, it happened one day that the compiler, Miss Rachel Busk, was tempted by an old longing to visit one of the most out-of-the-way and primitive villages in the region. She made her way with a young companion to a place called Guadaxox (pronounced Guadaquoth.) They were so enjoying the brightness of the day that they failed to notice how the time passed, nor how the wind from the mountains had covered the fair sky with angry clouds. It was only when the first great drops of the storm patted them on their shoulders that they realised the extent of their situation. They sought shelter for the night in the only venta, or inn, in the area. To state the place wanted for every comfort was an understatement. Expected to sleep in a communal area, much like the caravanserais on the Silk Road, their number was soon added to by a couple of rough carters. The lady of the house took pity and beckoned her to her room. Her daughter had gone with friends to another village for a few days, so her bed was free. However, Ms Busk and the old lady sat up talking the night away. In the main they talked about the customs and legends of the people, a matter in which the old lady was well versed, and which had always had a special charm for Ms Busk. The old lady was delighted to have someone who would listen to her “long yarn;” and Ms Busk was delighted to have found a source at which to satisfy some of my curiosity about Spanish Traditions. And so this volume of no less than 50 illustrated Spanish Traditions and stories was born…… Because the stories in this volume have not yet become mainstream, they are sure to pique your interest. Because the stories are so fresh, this volume is sure to keep you and your young ones enchanted for hours, if not because of the quantity of the stories, then for their quality. They will have you coming back for more time and again. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, childrens stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy kingdom, ethereal, fairy land, classic stories, bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, laughter, Carlo Magno, Giant, El Conde Sol , Simple Johnny, Spell-Bound Princesses, prince, king, queen, Turian And Floreta, Blood-Stain, Alcázar Of Seville, Action, Adventures, Doña Josefa Ramirez Y Marmolejo, Steeple Of Covena, Fair Maid, Zaragoza, Juanita The Bald, Daughter, Love, Starving John, Doctor, Ramon, Discontented, Ballad Maker, Boot Maker, El Clavel, carnation, Ill-Tempered, Hermit, Fig Tree, Too Clever By Half, Wind, Ana, Sunbeam, Pedro Jimenez, Grape, St. Martin In Spain, Marvellous Stories, St. Michael’s Feather, Eyes To The Blind, Floating Chest, Whale Of The Manzanáres, Sun Of Wittenburg, Merino, King Vamba, Dona Terea, Teresa, Irish Princess, El Conde Fernan Gonzalez, First, Tunny Fishing, One Can Dine, Two Can Dine, Caballeresco, Hormesinda, Filial Love, Raguel, Jewess Of Toledo, Don Jaime De Aragon, Don Alonso De Aguilar, Black Charger, Hernando, Infante Don Henrique, Lions, Blanca, Haughty, Moresque, Moorish, Remnants, Issy-Ben-Aran, Móstafa Alvilá, Emir, Search, Eye, Yussuf, Sultana Perfumer-In-Chief, El Moro Santon, De Ultramar, Hernan Cortes, Sanctuary, Araucania, Indomitable, Tegualda, Fiton, Cave
