Edges chipped. Front end pages loose. Staining to edges. Sold with all faults. This is an oversized or heavy book which WILL require additional postage for Priority Mail or International delivery outside the US. Straparola's Piacevoli notti 1550–53; The Nights of Straparola contains 75 novellas short prose tales that were later used as source material by William Shakespeare Moliere and others. It drew from folk tradition and introduced into European literature some 20 fairy tales among them what would eventually be known as 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Puss in Boots.' Straparola's tales were drawn from many sources and today some of his versions appear far removed from their present-day forms. Using a technique borrowed from Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron Straparola set his stories within a frame. Each one is told on a successive night by a party of men and women relaxing at Murano a suburb of Venice. His collection soon became famous throughout Europe. Little is known of Straparola's personal life. Lawrence and Bullen hardcover
