This book, titled 'Els monarques catalans a la tradició', compiles a series of stories and anecdotes about the Catalan monarchs. Whether true or not, these narratives seek to humanize the figure of the kings and bring the reader closer to the curiosities that have become legend. Published by Edicions El Mèdol, the book is written in Catalan and has 104 pages.
Joan Amades i Gelats was a Catalan ethnologist and folklorist. An autodidact, he worked at the historical archive of the city of Barcelona and at the Museum of Industry and Popular Arts of the same city. From 1956 onwards, he collaborated with UNESCO. He was also an important promoter of Esperanto and founded the Federació Esperantista Catalana. Perhaps the most important book in his large bibliography is Costumari Català, the main work for the study of Catalan popular culture.
