About this book
The Alhambra is a collection of essays, verbal sketches, and stories by Washington Irving. The collection was inspired by Irving's stay during the spring and summer of 1829 at the ancient Moorish palace in Granada, Spain, which he called "one of the most remarkable, romantic, and delicious spots in the world." The pieces in The Alhambra contain Spanish and Moorish history and folklore as well as Irving's personal experiences with the local residents.

What became Irving's best known works, The Alhambra has been repeatedly published for over a century. The book was first published in 1832 as The Alhambra: A Series of Tales and Sketches of the Moors and Spaniards by Colburn & Bentley in London followed by Carey & Lea in Philadelphia and Galignani in Paris. The sequence of the tales differs in the First American Edition (Carey & Lea, 1832).
