Product Description

Meticulously selected and artfully recreated, the selection of stories in Italian is vast and ranges geographically from Corsica and Sicily to Venice and the Alps. Calvino is himself clearly captivated by the folkloric imagination and communicates this in what is a fascinating and rich addition to folk literature.

By	Elizabeth Molinaro (Oakwood (Dayton) OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Italian Folk Tales (Children's Illustrated Classics) (Hardcover)

Excellent review of ALL of the Italian folk tales you knew...and about a hundred you didn't. Supplemented with notes for each tale (in appendix) detailing history, place, versions, etc.
