Kings Without Castles

"Spain is a dream world, steeped in mysticism, locked in tradition, charged with violence, inhabited by the most delightful, the most courtly, the most gracious, barbarians."—Lucy Herndon Crockett, Kings Without Castles


First published in 1957, this is former Red Cross worker Lucy Herndon Crockett's informal report on the Spain of the era, and of its people, as seen from her perspective and through her experiences.


Wonderfully illustrated throughout with sketches by the author.
