This volume contains thirty-eight tales selected from the Peruvian Traditions (Tradiciones Peruanas) of Ricardo Palma. Told in a gay, sprightly, vivid style, they are chiefly semi-historical sketches about actual episodes in the history of Peru from the time of the Conquest to the end of the nineteenth century. Many kinds of stories are included--folk tales, scandalous adventures, and anecdotes about important personages All are witty, racy, irreverent--and vastly entertaining.
