Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ballads and Songs of Spain
Alhama, Baza, Jaen, Denia, Moclin, Salobrena - such are the names of a few of these sentinels of the stony Sierras, and more than one of them is known to have been garrisoned as early as the age Of Roderick the Goth - three hundred years, that is to say, before the Norman invasion of England.
Yet, in dealing with Spain, it is by no means necessary to retrace the events of many centuries in order to reach an abundant source of inspira tion for the poet, and a point where history and romance will be found to have become perilously interwoven.
