The myths and legends of the Basque peoples are lively adventures which shed insight on the ancient culture and spiritual traditions unique to the Basque country. Historically, the legends of the Basque region were treated as insignificant by scholars of literature and readers. Yet Mariana Monteiro, in presenting them anew for the English reader, makes a passionate case for their inclusion in the pantheon of great myths: though their narrations are simple in comparison to other legends, this is but camouflage for the deeply meaningful lessons they impart. That the Basque peoples have existed through centuries, largely escaping European wars and their devastation, is a sign that their culture remains unblemished by successive upheavals; a bulwark of the old, existing with strength against history's odds. Such is how the author frames these legends, rich in their poetic imagination and imbued by a culture that endures. The symbolism of the vivid creatures in these stories, and the apt portrayal of human nature in the narrations, are delivered amid the backdrop of the beautiful rolling hills and plains of the Basque country, its lush forests, and its mountainous fissures. The reader will be appreciative, and perhaps enchanted, by the age-old stories that emerged from this valuable corner of the Earth.

Excerpt from Legends and Popular Tales of the Basque People Yet this fact does not prove that it is only in traditional beliefs where the origin of the evil is to be sought for. So long as we are unable to define the limits which separate truth from error in space and time, in the physical and moral worlds, man will ever allow himself to be carried away by the irresistible yearning for that which is unknown and incomprehensible, to seek in the mysterious regions of fancy for abundant food to satisfy his curiosity, and some explanation for that which he cannot understand. By no other means is it comprehensible how superstition has always subsisted in every race, whatever be the religious profession or degree of culture it may have reached, or age in which it existed. The object may have changed, the form may have varied, as it has always done under the various influences exercised by religion, climate, customs, and other causes; nevertheless superstition has not ceased to pervade and dominate the spirit-as powerfully now as it has ever done. It is true that in our days the belief in witches is gone by, but, on the other hand, a world of spirits have risen up, or rather been discovered, as many spiritualists assert, who assume to live in perfect union with them.

In this volume you will find 13 illustrated Popular Tales from the Basque region of Spain. Here you will find tales like Aquelarre, Arguiduna, The Song of Lamia, the Prophecy of Lara, the Virgin of the Five Towns in which mermaids, heroes, magical horns and ghosts abound. If you have ever travelled through the province of Galicia in North Western Spain, you can’t fail to notice the Celtic influences in the region’s art and culture. So it is therefore not surprising to also find the story of Jaun-Zuria - A Prince Of Erin included in this volume. So take some time out and travel back to a period before television, or even radio for that matter, to a time when families would gather around a crackling and spitting hearth and granddad or grandma, or an uncle or aunt, would delight and captivate their audience with stories passed on to them from their parents and grandparents. This collection of Basque legends, fairy tales, ballads, and popular stories having their origin in the ancient traditions which formed a portion of the sacred inheritance bequeathed to the Basque people by their forefathers, and handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. These tales constitute the archives of the Basque people, the treasures of their science and of their beliefs; they are the records of the lives of their forefathers, the landmarks of the grandeur of their past history. In the midst of the great revolutions which have agitated the whole of Europe, causing radical changes, levelling to the ground or converting into ruins great empires, powerful nationalities, monuments; sweeping away languages, and even the very races themselves--the Basques have somehow passed unscathed through the many storms of devastation, preserving intact their nationality, institutions, laws, language, and customs.
