Giambattista Basile's The Tale of Tales (Il Pentamerone) is a foundational collection of 17th-century Neapolitan fairy tales, predating famous versions by Perrault and the Grimm brothers. This influential Baroque work, which includes raw, darkly humorous versions of classics like Cinderella, is available in the 2023 translation by Petr Epifanov.
