Sketches From Missionary Life in Spain #231937

These "sketches," as the name itself implies, have no definite historical or biographical purpose, but the calculated rather to give an idea of the "atmosphere" in which a missionary lives and works in Central Spain. The incidents are from the authors own experience, however, and the descriptions the result of personal observation, care being taken to avoid "colouring" and "fiction mixtures."<br><br>It must be remembered, however, that conditions vary greatly even from province to province, so that the descriptions of customs, scenery, etc., must be taken as applying only to the districts mentioned, though there are certain general similarities over the whole country.
