with translation, commentary and notes by S. Halliwell

Federico Garcia Lorca: Gypsy Ballads
Translated with an Introduction and Commentary by Robert G. Havard~
Lorca's famous Gypsy Ballads were composed in the 1920s, when his poetic style was evolving from the traditional towards the surrealist.

Translated with an introduction and commentary by Richard G. Havard.

The Physician of His Honour is beautiful in its poetry and unsettling in its resolution. For more than 350 years ...
