Italian Folktales
Chosen one of the "New York Times's" ten best books in the year of its original publication, "Italian Folktales" immediately won a cherished place among lovers of the tale and vaulted Calvino into the ranks of the great folklorists like 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 people.

What people are saying
Writer (His Dark Materials, etc). Read like a butterfly, write like a bee. 'Strangely wholesome' - Millie Hoskins, United Agents. Rejoiner.
@DrGargiBanerjee "The tale is not beautiful if nothing is added to it" - Tuscan proverb quoted by Italo Calvino in his collection of Italian folktales.
What a deal of cold business doth a man misspend the better part of life in!
@flestrigone @credenzamostro I bought Italo Calvino’s anthology of Italian folktales & I’m very excited about it. He writes very beautifully about folktales as a form in his introduction. He also selected stories in every available dialect, sometimes going beyond Italian borders
