Excerpt from The Joy of Captain Ribot: Authorized Translation From the Original A. Palacio Valdés
La Alegria del Capitan Ribot is, as all the stories of this delightful author are, a novel of manners, the modern manners of provincial Spain; and, by the way, while we were spoiling our pros trate foe, I wish we could have got some of these.

Excerpt from The Joy of Captain Ribot: Authorized Translation From the Original A. Palacio Valdés
"We Americans are apt to think because we have banged the Spanish war-ships to pieces that we are superior to the Spaniards, but here in the field where there is always peace they shine our masters. If we have any novelists to compare with theirs at their best, I should be puzzled to think of them, and I should like to have some one else try" - wrote William Dean Howells in Literature.
When a work by one of the world's masters of fiction has called forth a remark like the foregoing from a leading man of letters in America, it would be a misfortune if the public to whom the remark is addressed might not enjoy the privilege of acquaintance with that work. And it was this most charming novel by Senor Armando Palacio Valdes, "La Alegria del Capitan Ribot," that prompted Mr. Howells to write those words. Any reader must be hard to please who would not take the keenest delight in a story presented with a touch so delicate. The scene is laid in Valencia, one of the earth's famous garden spots, where the touch of the classic hand, laid upon the spot ages ago, yet lingers.
