This two-volume set collects 300 of the most entertaining and
important folk and fairy tales of Giuseppe Pitre, a nineteenth
century Sicilian folklorist whose significance ranks alongside the
Brothers Grimm. In stark contrast to the more literary ambitions of
the Grimms' tales, Pitre's possess a charming, earthy quality that
reflect the customs, beliefs, and superstitions of the common
people more clearly than any other European folklore collection of
the 19th century. Edited, translated, and with a critical
introduction by world-renowned folk and fairy tale experts Jack
Zipes and Joseph Russo, this is the first collection of Pitre's
tales available in English. Carmelo Letterer's illustrations
throughout the volume are as lively and vivid as the stories
themselves, illuminating the remarkable imagination captured in the
tales.
