'The publication of Peter Such’s excellent English translation of Pero López de Ayala’s fourteenth-century Crónica del rey don Pedro [...] is welcome news. The translator includes extensive endnotes aimed at enlightening readers about the significance of individuals, places, names, events etc., mentioned in the narrative. Needless to say, this added context is an invaluable asset for both the dedicated researcher and as well as the more casual history buff. [It] is a tour de force and a must-have acquisition for all serious university and research libraries throughout the English-speaking world.'Clara Estow, Bulletin of Spanish Studies
