Talk:The Bible in Spain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Certainly Mérimée based some of "Carmen" on Borrow's Zincali, but I'd love to see a source for the statement that he based don José on someone in The Bible in Spain. He said in a letter to the Countess of Montijo that he based "Carmen" on a story that she told him. —JerryFriedman 23:13, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
