Publisher's Synopsis
Catedrales gÓticas, castillos, ruinas, caballeros, pajes, religiosos, duelos nocturnos, encuentros amorosos, apariciones de ultratumba… son los principales protagonistas de unas Leyendas que reconstruyen la tradiciÓn popular a travÉs del milagro de una prosa poÉtica en la que se reÚnen emociÓn, misterio y belleza, en un ambiente de maravilla lÍrica similar al de los cuentos de hada. Cargadas de musicalidad y pasiÓn, los valores literarios de estas narraciones breves son notablemente superiores a los de las leyendas predecesoras y coetÁneas y suponen la culminaciÓn, superaciÓn y aniquilamiento de un gÉnero.

Charged with musicality and passion, the literary values of these short stories are remarkably superior to those of their predecessor and contemporary legends, and they represent the culmination, overcoming and annihilation of a genre.
