The Pentamerone Or The Story Of Stories: Fun For The Little Ones is a collection of fairy tales written by Italian author Giambattista Basile and first published in 1634. This edition was published in 1848 and includes 50 stories filled with magic, adventure, and romance. The tales are told by a group of women who gather together to share stories, with each tale becoming more fantastical than the last. The stories include classic fairy tale tropes such as talking animals, enchanted objects, and evil witches, but also feature unique elements such as shape-shifting and clever wordplay. The Pentamerone is considered a classic of Italian literature and has been influential in the development of fairy tale storytelling. This edition is a wonderful choice for parents looking to introduce their children to classic fairy tales or for anyone who loves magical stories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
