This would be his sole LEC contribution, however.Ĭuriously, the blatantly non-Spanish (Swiss) illustrator Duvoisin was recruited for this book, who is best known in the Macy sphere for his Heritage Mother Goose commission in 1936, his first and most famous. Alarcón became quite famous for this, and continued to write other novellas, travel writings and essays. It went on to become a popular ballet composed by Manuel de Falla, and would be filmed several times by Spanish filmmakers. The novel contained within, The Three-Cornered Hat, by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón, is one of the more adult-oriented tales artist Roger Duvoisin was attached to for the George Macy Company, as its plot follows a lustful magistrate who attempts to woo over a miller’s loyal wife. This book never saw a Heritage reprint from what I can tell. It’s colorful, a fantastic design and feels soft to the touch. ![]() Translated by Martin Armstrong, Introduced by Gerald Brenanįront Binding – This is one of my favorite bindings of all my LEC editions.
