Synopsis
One of the New York Times's Ten Best Books of the Year: These traditional stories of Italy, retold by a literary master, are "a treasure" (Los Angeles Times). Filled with kings and peasants, saints and ogres--as well as some quite extraordinary plants and animals--these two hundred tales bring to life Italy's folklore, sometimes with earthy humor, sometimes with noble mystery, and sometimes with the playfulness of sheer nonsense. Selected and retold by one of the country's greatest literary icons, "this collection stands with the finest folktale collections anywhere" (The New York Times Book Review). "For readers of any age . . . A masterwork." --The Wall Street Journal "A magic book, and a classic to boot." --Time, One of the New York Times 's Ten Best Books of the Year: These traditional stories of Italy, retold by a literary master, are "a treasure" ( Los Angeles Times ).

    Wonderful storytelling

    Wanted the original edition mostly because the cover of the later edition is awful and I had this edition in the past but gave it to my daughter. Don’t mind the small crimp in the corner - rest of book is pristine. As far as the content these folktales are a refreshing change from the heavy handed Grimm’s fairy tales which we were subjected to throughout our childhoods.
