Stories from Pentamerone is a collection that was compiled by Basile in 1634 and 1636. These are the stories from which many modern-day fairy tales-such as Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, and others-originate. In addition, this book also includes many tales that may not be familiar to the general public.
