Description
Forgotten for over a century, this 19th-century collection is once again available to the reading public. The original translations and illustrations of the first edition are introduced by noted contemporary scholar Jack Zipes. The tales capture the heart of Italian narrative, and open a window on old Italian customs, superstitions, beliefs, and moral values of the culture.
