The Lady Bandit

90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books Priests with shotguns, scheming lovers and a necrophiliac gravedigger haunt the fables of Emilia Pardo Bazn, the formidable Spanish aristocrat, intellectual and feminist. These stories paint a rich and variegated image of Old Spain sometimes tender, often provocative, always entertaining. But if you decide to visit, beware the Lady Bandit, whose strong, rough hands might grab your neck, and squeeze and squeeze and squeeze . . .
