In stark contrast to the more literary ambitions of the Grimms' tales, Pitr�'s possess a charming, earthy quality that reflect the customs, beliefs, and superstitions of the common people more clearly than any other European folklore collection of the 19th century. Edited, translated, and with a critical introduction by world-renowned folk and fairy tale experts Jack Zipes and Joseph Russo, this is the first collection of Pitr�'s tales available in English. Carmelo Letterer's illustrations throughout the volume are as lively and vivid as the stories themselves, illuminating the remarkable imagination captured in the tales. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46886275448983,"sku":"9780415980319","price":14551.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415980319.webp?v=1770251164","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-collected-sicilian-folk-and-fairy-tales-of-giuseppe-pitre-9780415980319","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
