Book excerpt: Very pretty and attractive is the volume of "Spanish Legendary Tales," put together by Mrs. Middlemore, and just published by Messrs. Chatto and Windus. I say "put together," because Mrs. Middlemore herself tells us that the tales are not at all of her invention, but have been taken down, more or less closely, from the lips of Spanish peasants. They have, in fact, the great merit of being " at first hand." If it be suggested that many of these "Legendary Tales " have a weird and tragic air, Mrs. Middlemore accounts for it by explaining that such is the general character of the Spanish legend. And to the suggestion that the style of them seems to be of a different character from that which might be expected from peasants, she replies that the Spanish must not be judged by the English variety. The Spanish peasant, she assures us, is "not wholly destitute of what may fairly be called culture." Altogether, Mrs. Middlemore's volume is full of interest, and in the thirty tales contained in it everybody is sure to find something that will give him or her pleasure. The book, too, has a sort of ethnological value. -Gossip of the Week, Vol. 1. [1885]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Legendary Tales The mere fact that they exist in vast numbers, and that many of them bear upon the same subject, renders it necessary that, if they are to be remembered at all, they must be remembered with verbal accuracy; otherwise they would in a short time become hope lessly confused one with another. One of the most popular subjects of Spanish folk-lore is the Christ of the Vega. I have myself heard at least a dozen legends turning on this theme; and many more versions must certainly exist. It would be impossible to keep these various stories apart in the popular memory, unless they had become, so to speak, stereo typed. And this.is the case with the majority of Spanish prose legends. They have assumed, in the course of time, a fixed and traditional shape, in their words no less than in their subjects. It is a truism that the memory of those who cannot read or write is, on the average, stronger than that of 'those who have had a literary education. When once education is diffused among the masses of the Spanish people, those legends which have not been committed to writing will be gradually lost. The new interests which education brings with it will also weaken among the people those tastes to which tales of the marvellous appeal. But this time seems still to be distant in Spain..
