I have plundered and borrowed from the riches of the European folktale and extracted those narratives which seemed beautiful or strange or delightful without the burden of scholarship to restrain me . These stories have been told and repeated through the ages , changing with each retelling , so that every country and culture has its own set of variants on the classic tales . I have felt like a man who hears a good joke and tells it to his friends . I have taken liberties , invented what I have forgotten , and changed what I have remembered . At the same time , I have tried not to impose my own judgment on the material . Italo Calvino , in his marvelous anthology of " Italian Folktales " , described himself as a link in the anonymous chain without end by which folktales are handed down . I am happy to join him , guided by the same Tuscan proverb he invoked for his own work : " The tale is not beautiful if nothing is added to it . " This book is for my son Max , who began his life as I began these stories . I have tried to fill his days with their magic just as he has filled my days with his own . A . M .
