Italian Folktales

One of the New York Timesâ€™s Ten Best Books of the Year: These traditional stories of Italy, retold by a literary master, are â€œa treasureâ€ (Los Angeles Times).
Â
Filled with kings and peasants, saints and ogresâ€”as well as some quite extraordinary plants and animalsâ€”these two hundred tales bring to life Italyâ€™s folklore, sometimes with earthy humor, sometimes with noble mystery, and sometimes with the playfulness of sheer nonsense.
Â
Selected and retold by one of the countryâ€™s greatest literary icons, â€œthis collection stands with the finest folktale collections anywhereâ€ (The New York Times Book Review).
Â
â€œFor readers of any ageÂ .Â .Â . A masterwork.â€ â€”The Wall Street Journal
Â
â€œA magic book, and a classic to boot.â€ â€”Time
