Basile,Giambattista. Stories from The Pentamerone selected and edited by E. F. Strange illustrated by Warwick Goble
Published: MacMillan and Co., Limited, London. 1911
Edition: First Edition
Binding: Original gilt tooled and lettered red cloth
Price: U.S.$525
FREE shipping by Registered Airmail Post.
4to., (25.5cm x 19cm) First Edition, original gilt tooled and lettered red cloth, rubbed at corners & edges, stain spot to upper cover, spine lettered in gilt, faded, uneven fading to upper cover, pp. 304, illustrated by Warwick Goble with 32 full page colour plates with captioned tissue guards, browning to free endpapers, contents crisp and clean, a very good copy
   
This fabulous collection of stories is thought to have been collected in the Seventeenth Century, chiefly in Crete and Venice by Giambattista Basile, in the Neapolitan dialect and many of them upon examination appear to form the basis of well known modern Fairy Tales. Although these tales predate both Perrault and Grimm they are not as well known as they weren't translated until the mid Nineteenth Century, largely due to the difficulty of translating the Neapolitan dialect. Goble does not disappoint with this beautiful suite of illustrations, with his attention to detail, intense use of rich colours and his sublime oriental influenced compositions they provide the perfect accompaniment to this collection of folk tales.
