Leila or, the Siege of Granada is a multi volume book on Spain sieges history written by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who was an English writer and politician.

Excerpts:

The night was not far advanced; and the moon, which broke through the transparent air of Andalusia, shone calmly over the immense and murmuring encampment of the Spanish foe, and touched with a hazy light the snow-capped summits of the Sierra Nevada, contrasting the verdure and luxuriance which no devastation of man could utterly sweep from the beautiful vale below.
