Stories from Pentamerone

About this film

Librivox recording of the Stories from Pentamerone by Giambattista Basile. Read by Joy Chan. This is one of the oldest written collections of fairy tales. Although the names are different, listeners should recognise many of the stories as the basis of modern fairy tales. Be warned however, that these stories are a lot more violent and gruesome then the Disney versions you may be familiar with. Parents should listen to the files to gauge their suitability before allowing children to listen to them.
