A collection of folk tales and observational pieces gathered from peasants in the Tuscan Apennines, presenting village narratives, popular legends, and local variants of familiar tales such as a Snow White analogue and a Bluebeard episode. The volume pairs these stories with vivid sketches of rural life and seasonal customs, including weddings, olive-oil production, farmhouse routine, a local calcio game, and travel impressions from Elba. Complementary material comprises fugitive pieces, translations from Italian, critical essays on contemporary poets, and a brief biographical appendix.
