    <body><![CDATA[one of my most treasured possessions. a must-have for any folk-tale buff. brings together many old favorites and lots of new ones. calvino includes, at the back, brief notes on his often-wizened sources - very nice. best read, like the decameron, in lazy bedtime dips. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What a great selection of tales!  If anybody wants to have something to go to beyond the Brothers Grimm and such this is the place to go. I've read and re-read the stories here a hundred times, and for the most part, most were new to me.]]></body>
