Stories Nobody Told Me:
"Italian" Folk tales for all seasons
Told by Norah Dooley
Traditional Italian folk tales serve up common story motifs with a distinctive flavor. Despite a large extended Italian family in my background, I came to my cultural heritage through the back door of my enthusiastic but slapdash scholarship. The work of Italo Calvino, Bocaccio, Straparola and Basile inspired me to tell my versions of these timeless tales. As many European storytellers before me, I also found inspiration in the ancient Panchantantra texts and the old Buddhist Jataka tales. The Three Hens is my own fable. I have cooked up these nontraditional tales for you. The ingredients used to dish up these tales are very old, and the"recipes" and the seasonings come from Italy. Buon appetito!
Norah "La Tosca" Dooley, July 2002
