Els Herois

Six tales of the unlikely heroes of the Girona countryside: a poor wretch said to be too worthless even for the devil, a marsh guide who knows every duck pond, a justice of the peace and his prized mare, a farmer's wife on her way to market, and others. Bertrana writes about them with affection, earthy humour and a keen eye for rural life. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
