For over a hundred years Washington Irving's story of the Spanish moor and the kind peasant has thrilled readers. Now in this theatrical adaptation, the story comes brilliantly to life in this enchanting play. Winner of the Aline Bernstein Award, this stirring tale combines the eerie and the fanciful with its Spanish-Moorish setting creating a totally unique children's play. A frequent writer and lecturer on theater, Anne Nicholson was general manager of the Goodman Theatre, Chicago, where many of her plays were produced. She studied playwriting with Charlotte Chorpenning whom she later collaborated with on "The Snow Maiden."
