Synopsis
Based on a famous Spanish folk tale, this romping novella recounts the tribulations of a lecherous local magistrate as he attempts to have his way with the miller’s beautiful but devoted wife, with unforeseen and hilarious consequences. A unique blend of slapstick and comedy of manners, this sharp satire on the corruption of rural officials and the politics of lust and seduction provides timeless entertainment.

From the Publisher
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.
From the Back Cover
As passions stir in a sleepy Andalucan community, stratagems and vengeance collide in this rollicking farce. Remnants of earlier Spanish bawdy tales twinkle in The Three-Cornered Hat, a lively commentary on Spanish society in the years leading up to Napoleon's invasion in 1808.
