		While the Children's and Household Tales by the Grimm Brothers is in essence an assortment of collected folktales, the fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen are original works by the author himself.
		Some tales listed as Perrault's were in fact adapted from earlier Italian versions by Giambattista Basile, but in turn, some tales published by the Grimm Brothers were originally Perrault's stories.

	Thomas Frederick Crane, author, Jack Zipes, editor, Italian Popular Tales
		Italian Popular Tales, first published in 1885, was the first comprehensive collection of folktales from Italy published in English.
		Italian Popular Tales is a work of serious scholarship, but you don't have to be a serious scholar to find it interesting.
		In short, Crane did his best to make Italian folktales accessible to an English-speaking audience, and it is unfortunate that it has taken so long for this book to receive wide distribution.

		These are folktales just the way they should be- humorous, magical and just a little off the center.
