Ten young people have hidden away from the plague that is ravaging 1340s Italy in a castle outside Florence. To pass the time, they tell stories.
In the full version of this book, the ten people tell ten stories a day for ten days. This audiobook is abridged, however, with sixteen stories. The stories pack a punch, all of them bawdy, with tales of misadventures in bed, full of fun twists and unexpected turns.
