5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, brings the palace to life., 6 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Tales of the Alhambra (Hardcover)
I read the book after visiting the Alhambra Palace in Grenada, and it really brought the gardens, courtyards and fountains to life. Both the book and the palace are worth a visit.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice souvenir, 2 Oct 2007
By Jeremy Walton (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book in Granada when I first visited that city four years ago, and re-read it while we were there last month. It's a nice collection of tales (mostly fairy stories) set in and around the Alhambra palace, which Irving apparently collected whilst he was living there during a respite from his diplomatic work. His evocative prose, though somewhat archaic (the book is more than a hundred and fifty years old) conjures up the magical atmosphere of that beautiful place very effectively, which makes this a perfect souvenir for anyone who's visited Granada, or an inspiration for anyone who's planning a trip there.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Jewel of a Book in Travel Writing, 11 Jun 2009
Read this book after having been in Grandada. Archaic in style or not, the book is a delight to read. Unlike, modern prose, I found myself re-reading passages that I had missed with a freshness sadly lacking in modern writing. How many of us can re-read a book of modern prose?
