Book Description
First published in two volumes in 1634 and 1636, "The Pentamerone", or "The Tale of Tales", by the Italian poet Giambattista Basile is acknowledged as one of the first collections of fairy tales. Basile's collection was written in the Neapolitan language, which is a Romance language spoken in parts of Southern Italy, and was published after his death under a pseudonym. Basile put these primarily oral stories into writing and many are the oldest known versions of these stories in existence. He preserved such tales such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, Puss in Boots, Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty, and many more for posterity. This work did not receive the attention it deserved until it was cited by the Brothers Grimm in the third edition of their "Grimm's Fairy Tales" as the first national collection of fairy tales and this caused a significant increase in interest for "The Pentamerone". As a result, Basile's work was translated into German in 1846 and English for the first time in 1847 bringing the tales to a wider audience. This timeless collection of some of the world's most famous stories continues to delight and entertain audiences young and old. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the complete translation by Richard F. Burton.
