Críticas

"The distinctive features of the book are indeed the author's deep insight into the mores of the country . . . and his enthusiasm for the brilliance of Spain's culture. . . The essential political facts are all there, but far more important and meaningful . . . is the environmental lore that Dr. Crow has gleaned from his many journeys since he first went to Spain in 1928." --"Times Literary Supplement
