- 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
