The Queen's nightdress was so heavy it could have stood alone. At a certain place was a hole with a sewn edging, and just above it a scarlet cross and the legend-"Get thee behind me Satan." Spain is in peril, a giant serpent loose in the land, and witches of uncertain gender ride their brooms across the night sky: all because the king has lain with a whore, and asked to see his wife naked. Even Satan is good company in this novel by Ballester, a varied and prolific talent.

Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.
