Washington Irving read Don Quixote as a child, sparking a lifelong interest in Spain. When published, Chronicle of the Conquest of Granada—a history of the fifteenth-century Spanish war against the Moors in Granada—was acclaimed for its engaging writing style, which made it seem less like a history and more like an adventure tale.
