_NEW-WORLD SPANISH SERIES_

TEATRO DE ENSUEÑO

_By_ G. MARTÍNEZ SIERRA

With Introduction, Notes Exercises, and Vocabulary

_By_ AURELIO M. ESPINOSA _Associate Professor of Spanish, Leland Stanford Junior University_

The purpose of this edition of Teatro de Ensueño is to supply school and college classes with selections from one of the best and most popular Castilian writers of the present day--this present day which shows that in all its manifestations Spanish literature is rapidly approaching a second golden age. And the lasting glory of Spanish literature seems to be found in the drama.

In language and style these dramatic tales are beautiful and poetic, and at the same time easy, simple and clear.

The selections are _Por el Sendero Florido, Pastoral,_ and _Cuento de Labios en Flor_.

They are easy enough for students in the second or third half-year.
