Illustrated by
Stefano Vitale.
Carefully selected and enhanced with robustly elegant illustrations, these fifteen tales, arranged in groups of three, serve as an introduction to comparative literature and to different cultures. The titles for the groups reflect their general themes and identify each group as a set of variations on a familiar tale. This is an outstanding example of what folklore collections for children can and should be. With substantial notes on each tale. Bib.
