Description

Volume 2 of this landmark two-volume collection brings together 300 of the most significant folk and fairy tales gathered by Giuseppe Pitre, a 19th-century Sicilian folklorist whose contributions to European folklore rival those of the Brothers Grimm. Unlike the literary refinement of the Grimms' work, Pitre's tales capture the authentic voice of common Sicilian people, preserving their customs, beliefs, and superstitions with earthy charm and ethnographic clarity. This edition, edited and translated by world-renowned folklore scholars Jack Zipes and Joseph Russo, includes a critical introduction that contextualises Pitre's pioneering work within 19th-century European folklore scholarship. The collection offers invaluable insights into Sicilian culture and represents one of the most important regional folklore archives ever assembled.

Key Features

This Volume 2 collection presents 300 carefully selected folk and fairy tales gathered by Giuseppe Pitre from Sicilian communities and oral traditions.

Edited and translated by folklore experts Jack Zipes and Joseph Russo, whose critical introduction provides scholarly context for Pitre's ethnographic work.

Pitre's tales reflect genuine customs, beliefs, and superstitions of common Sicilian people with greater authenticity than most other 19th-century European folklore collections.

The two-volume set by Routledge preserves the charming, earthy quality of Sicilian oral storytelling traditions that influenced folklore studies across Europe.
