<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Chosen by The New York Times as one of its best books in the year of its original publication, this treasure trove of 200 lively Italian folktales has won a cherished place among fans of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. In this collection, Calvino combines a sensibility attuned to the fantastical with a singular writerly ability to capture the visions and dreams of a culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>One of the <i>New York Times</i>'s Ten Best Books of the Year: These traditional stories of Italy, retold by a literary master, are "a treasure" (<i>Los Angeles Times</i>).</b> <p/> 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. <p/> Selected and retold by one of the country's greatest literary icons, "this collection stands with the finest folktale collections anywhere" (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>). <p/> "For readers of any age . . . A masterwork." --<i>The Wall Street Journal</i> <p/> "A magic book, and a classic to boot." --<i>Time</i> <br>
