| Summary | "Fairy Tales from Spain" by José Muñoz Escámez is a collection of enchanting short stories likely written in the early 20th century. The book presents a series of whimsical tales that transport readers to a world filled with magic, adventure, and moral lessons, featuring various characters, including clever boys, powerful witches, and mystical beings. Each story is crafted to invoke the spirit of traditional Spanish folklore, offering a blend of humor and wisdom that reflects cultural themes. The opening portion of the book introduces readers to a vibrant cast of characters, starting with Khing-Chu-Fu, the Empress of China, who is startled to find a white hair in her beautiful hair, leading to an exaggerated panic amongst her court. Enter Pinchauvas, a clever young Spaniard who unwittingly finds himself embroiled in the court's turmoil after he is mistaken for a wise man capable of solving the empress's predicament. His witty responses and the ensuing chaos set a lighthearted tone, illustrating the charm and comedic elements of the storytelling that will continue throughout the collection.
