Some people say that fairy tales are exclusive to children, but my old mother after 80 still has no immunity to fairy tales, because I like to collect a lot of fairy tale books at home. The world of fairy tales is pure, beautiful, and contains the power of life.
If the Nobel laureate is a writer among writers, then this set of Calvino Italian Fairy Tales must be a fairy tale within a fairy tale. Not only is the story wonderful and interesting, the illustrations are exquisite, and the heart-warming story with high-value pictures makes people mesmerized and can't bear to let go.
About the author
The author of the book, Calvino, is from Italy and is a national treasure writer, whose work has influenced the entire Italian literary scene. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature, but lost the prize due to cerebral hemorrhage and sudden death.
Calvino's works have a postmodern style and a very unique imagination, and he has created countless works in his lifetime, such as "The Viscount Divided in Half", "The Baron in the Tree", and "The Non-Existent Knight".
Even Mo Yan once said: "I think Calvino is undoubtedly a great writer who has appeared in the world today, and his books are worth collecting and reading." ”
I believe that after you read it, you will also have a different feeling, behind the romantic text, there is a wise philosophy of life.
In addition to the unique charm of the story, the illustrations are even more addictive to me, and I can't bear to miss each one.
The four illustrators in the book have all won the International Hans Christian Andersen Prize, including Julia. Orecchia has won three Andersen Awards in Italy. Several masters have joined forces to enhance the taste and aesthetics of the story with paintings rich in artistic personality, vividly reproducing the Italian national tradition with diverse artistic styles and exquisite skills, so that children can improve their artistic aesthetics and experience the colorful southern European fairy tale world while reading easily.

The memory of Uncle Wolf is fierce and sinister, but Uncle Wolf here is a little different.
The little girl's family is very poor, but her mouth is very hungry, and she wants pies, but there is no frying pan for fried pies at home. Her mother asked her to ask the neighbor Uncle Wolf to borrow it, so she came and knocked on Uncle Wolf's door.
Uncle Wolf's house has not been knocked on the door for decades, and Uncle Wolf is very happy to hear the knock, and he also readily agrees to the little girl's request. In order not to frighten the little girl, Uncle Wolf put on a shirt, shorts, trousers, and coat.
In return, the little girl promised to fill the pot with pies and bring a bottle of wine and a round loaf of bread when she returned the pot.
The little girl ate the pie as she wished, but when she returned the pot, because of her hungry mouth, she ate all the things that her mother had prepared for Uncle Wolf, and secretly used mud instead of bread and pie, and used dirty water instead of wine, which made Uncle Wolf very angry, and finally sneaked into the little girl's smoke window to eat the little girl.

Every story in the book is gripping, in which we can feel the humor of the Italians, we can also perceive the meaning of life, and at the same time become braver and stronger.
Fairy tales are clear, clear, like a glass bead reflecting the world, with a rare and enlightened attitude, the "life and death", "growth" and other major issues of life present to us.
Fairy tales are definitely not simply preachy, but more fascinating thinking, inspiring the desire to explore the world.
