Wonderful world of fairy tales, who has never dreamed in the whispering or rustling of your giant trees! With these words, the publisher introduces his collection. Fairy tales not only reflect the customs and traditions of their time, but they also provide interesting insights into different cultures, regional peculiarities, and ways of life. What unites these enchanting dream worlds is the creative imagination that resides in all people, bridging regions, countries, and continents. Volume 1 presents an extensive collection of Italian and French fairy tales. Reprint of the original edition from 1845.
