Italian Fairy Tales (set of 3 Volumes)

About This Novel
"Italian Fairy Tales" is a "fairy tale book for all Italy" that Calvino adapted from the folk tale materials recorded in various dialects across Italy for centuries and rewritten it in modern common Italian. It is suitable for all Italian people to read and can be easily introduced to the world. Here, Calvino calmly jumped into the sea of stories, sifting through the traditions and myths scattered in the Italian folk countryside and restoring their original clean and simple appearance. In the two hundred stories, readers are exposed to a world with strong Italian characteristics: emperors and peasants, saints and devils, and strange animals and plants; some are humorous or simple, some are absurd or mysterious. Because of Calvino, "Italian Fairy Tale" stands at the same level as "Grimm's Fairy Tales", and its narrative text is more concise and outstanding.
