The name of Giambattista Basile (1583–1632), the author of The Tale of Fairy Tales, has only recently become known to the Russian-speaking reader, and yet he is quite familiar with the stories of Basile, as rewritten by Charles Perrault, Carlo Gozzi, and the Brothers Grimm. With the Neapolitan author, however, these wandering plots often take on a completely unexpected coloring: he is able to give a worthy rebuff to her stepmother, and the sleeping beauty behaves far from the best after waking up ... Frivolous and even cruel plots, the intervention of fairies and orcs, heroes who do not go into their pocket for words, the ardor of youth and the gloom of old age, edification and adventure - all this fit into a five-day fabulous marathon, fifty entertaining and instructive stories (hence another title of the book - "Pentameron", "five-day book") . The edition is illustrated by the works of the English artist Warwick Goble.
