English translations of novels by Galdós

Following up on the legal papers that were served me earlier this year by Richard (see the comments in this post), I thought I would provide a separate post for linking to my posts on the novels translated into English by Benito Pérez Galdós. I had no plans to go this far on his works but when you go with the flow as I do, stuff like this happens. I’m in no rush to check things off the list but I do have a few of these lined up to read over the next few months.
