🔽 Review summary 🔽

★★★☆☆ Extracts of a bigger collection of the folktales, "Fiabe italiane" written originally in 1956. A lot of misfortunes and a fair amount of cruelties, just like any folktales. Need to read the main book one day.


🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

Extracts of a bigger collection of the folktales, “Fiabe italiane” written originally in 1956.

They are short and some have moral teaching, like the last one Jump into my sack.
But the rest are tales and some just justify rapes, like sleeping with an unconscious queen and he becomes a king…

A lot of misfortunes and a fair amount of cruelty, just like any folktales.
