Summary "Patrañas; or, Spanish Stories, Legendary and Traditional" by Rachel Harriette Busk is a collection of traditional Spanish tales written in the late 19th century. The book draws from a variety of stories, legends, and folklore from Spain, celebrating the rich cultural heritage and humor of the Spanish people. Each story captures unique characters and adventures, often filled with fantastical elements and moral lessons. At the start of the collection, the author recounts a personal anecdote about a journey through Spain that led to her fascination with local traditions and legends. Caught in a storm while wandering in a remote village, Busk finds shelter and engages with an old traveler who shares captivating tales of the region’s myths and customs. This experience motivates her to compile the stories into this collection, promising a blend of humor, adventure, and the exploration of Spanish identity through narratives that have been cherished and retold across generations.
