Italian Popular Tales. By Thomas Frederick Crane. Full Audiobook
Thomas Frederick Crane's book, Italian Popular Tales, is a collection of fairy tales, legends, ghost stories, nursery tales, and jests from Italy. The book was first published in 1885 and is considered a fascinating trove of Italian oral tradition. The tales were collected, recorded, translated, and annotated by Crane, who was the first folklorist to bring the riches of Italian oral tradition to the English-speaking world .

The book is divided into six sections: Fairy Tales, Fairy Tales Continued, Stories of Oriental Origin, Legends and Ghost Stories, Nursery Tales, and Stories and Jests. The tales are presented in their original form, with annotations and translations provided by Crane. The volume presents a virtually unaltered edition of this classic work that is enhanced by an authoritative Introduction by Jack Zipes .

Crane's monumental achievement illustrates the enormous scope of his research, incomparable to other collections in the English language. In this modern edition, Crane's love for his work shines through the scholarship just as it did more than a century ago. The volume is certain to be of interest to folklorists, and is also meant to delight and amuse readers, whether a parent, storyteller, teacher, student, scholar, or just someone who enjoys original stories and authentic folk wisdom .
