EBOOK
About
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.
