Giambattista Basile's the Tale of Tales, or Entertainment for Little Ones
With stories marked by vertiginous fantasy, spirited wit, and baroque excess, Basile redefined the fairy tale for European audiences. Nancy Canepa's splendid new translation captures all the narrative energy and stylistic élan of The Tale of Tales and ensures that this collection will finally receive the attention it deserves.'– Maria Tatar, John L. Loeb, Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University and author of The Hard Facts of the Grimms’ Fairy Tales and Off With Their Heads!'Canepa's edition, with its newly-commissioned pen-and-ink illustrations, seems to be aimed at general readers. Basile's Tale of Tales constitutes a crossroads in this landscape, and Canepa has provided a valuable service by making it available again in English.'– Journal of Folklore Research'Reading The Tale of Tales, Giambattisa Basile's 17th-century book of fairy stories, is both exhilarating and exhausting. If that sounds like a warning, it is. If that sounds like a promise, well, good news.'– Genevieve Valentine, NPR Books
