Rooted in the medieval ballad tradition and recounted to the author by a Spanish goatherd, The Three-Cornered Hat relates a madcap series of romantic misadventures. The basis of Manuel de Falla's popular ballet of the same name, it appears here with Captain Poison, a witty "taming-of-the-shrew" tale. Original Spanish with English translation.

Fernan Caballero's "Juan Holgado y la muerte/Juan Holgado and Death," Antonio de Trueba's "Tragaldabas/Glutton," and Pedro Antonio de Alarcon's "El amigo de la muerte/Death's Friend" all have as their subject a desperate man who makes a pact with Death to achieve his ends. Written by three of the country's best-known short story writers, these three Death-and-the-Doctor tales fill a lacuna in the Godfather Death motif of Western European literature and highlight the universality of Spain's folk tradition. Each tale is printed in both English and Spanish.

Alarcon's "The Nun" has been praised as a stark depiction of decadence and decline, Captain Poison as a humorous reversal of The Taming of the Shrew, "Moors and Christians" as an astute commentary on greed, and "The Tall Woman" as an absorbing tale of the fantastic and supernatural. Together the four works show that Alarcon's imagination in short prose fiction thrived at the middle of his writing career and at the end of it.
