A critical and historical study of the beginnings of the modern literary fairy tale. Giambattista Basile's Lo Cunto de li Cunti written in Neapolitan dialect and published in 1634-36, comprises 50 fairy tales and was the first integral collection of literary fairy tales to appear in Western Europe.
