A review by eyecoco
The Tale of Tales, or Entertainment for Little Ones by Giambattista Basile

5.0

Absolutely an entertaining read and I laughed at the crass language while I cringed at other moments. Obviously a product of its time but reading it here and now still makes you want to roll your eyes sometimes.

Still would recommend this book for anyone interested in fairytales and how they have evolved. The footnotes gave some interesting insights in the day and age of the time the stories take place.
