Italian Popular Tales By Jack Zipes

I am really excited about this class! Some of the stories I saw as I was looking through seem really interesting. I also want to see some of the stories of places from where my family is from and some of our history-so I am really excited about the Jewish fairy tales section. Also, some of my other interests get to combine with the stories in this class which is exciting. I am excited to read the Italian stories and see if I have heard of any in my Italian classes!
