La Bella Violinista y Cuatro Cuentos Ms

The Beautiful Girl with the Violin and Four Other Stories is a collection of five stories for children, all originally published in the Spanish language newspaper La Prensa in San Antonio, Texas in the 1920's. The beautiful girl with the violin tells the story of an adolescent girl who is a master violin player and, instead of using her talent to become rich, she plays in the street corners of her town. The money that she collects she personally distributes among the needy. A Spoiled Girl is the next story, and it's about a girl who is sick when she's born, but she regains her health as she grows up. When she is sick, her parents spoil her to the point that, as an adolescent, she is the one who tells everyone what to do around the house, without having any consideration for anyone in her surroundings. The other three stories are A Robbery delicately Resolved by King Alfonso of Aragón, Leo and Nica, and The Good Wolf.
