In 1941, while studying folklore at Wayne University with Professor Emelyn Gardner, Bruna Todesco collected from her mother, Clementina, the twenty-two märchen and legends presented in this book. Not just made up of the recorded texts, this book is also built on the reminiscences of that storyteller and some of her old neighbours.
