Reviews

[Angela Priebbenow · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was wonderful having the fairytales written in both German and Italian, with no English. A real help for both languages!

Non sono celebri quanto le Fiabe Italiane di Italo Calvino, ma le fiabe di Capuana sono altrettanto meravigliose.
La presenza di alcuni termini della tradizione siciliana può rendere queste storie meno facili da leggere, ma è un ostacolo che si supera facilmente nel giro di qualche storia.
Meraviglioso.
