The Robber with the Witch's Head presents almost fifty new stories
about demons and clever maidens and princes. Bursting with life,
this is a storyteller's dream, full of adventure and magic,
translated by Jack Zipes.
In 2003 Jack Zipes translated "Beautiful Angiola," the first half
of Laura Gonzenbach's astonishing treasury of folk and fairy tales,
told and retold by generations of Sicilian peasants. Now the
Gonzenbach collection is complete in English: "The Robber with the"
"Witch's Head" presents almost fifty new stories about demons and
clever maidens and princes. Bursting with life, "The Robber with
the Witch's Head "is a storyteller's dream, full of adventure and
magic, expertly rendered by the translator of the Brothers Grimm.
what critics have said about "Beautiful Angiola":
"The Sicilian tales in Beautiful Angiola are a revelation; not in
their originality, because like all great collected folk and fairy
tales they are universal. But they have a uniqueness because the
flavor of that island off the toe of the boot of Italy is so
concentrated, so lusty, so full of sun, lemons and herbs that when
reading them, I could taste them. I see a series of paintings
inspired by them forming in my head. What a wonderful
collection
for any folklorist, Italian and especially Sicilian! Strega Nona
(who is Calabrese) approves!." -- Tomie dePaola
"Ostensibly collected for younger readers, the anthology is just as
appropriate for an adult audience." - "Library Journal
"
"An extraordinary collection." -- "Ruminator Review
"
"Stories with a feminist slant, strange, quirky and tart. Sometimes
shocking, often superb."
--Jacqueline Wilson, author of "Girls in Tears" and "The Lottie
Project"

Die Marchen dieses Bandes stammen von der italienischen Insel
Sizilien. Sie sind gepragt von Siziliens zentraler Lage im
Mittelmeer und dem Seehandel. So lassen sich in den Geschichten
verschiedenste Einflusse erkennen: griechische, spanische oder auch
deutsche, denn es fallen auch Ahnlichkeiten zu den Marchen der
Gebruder Grimm auf. Dieses Buch ist ein Nachdruck der langst
vergriffenen Originalausgabe von 1870.
