Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_and_Her_Destiny E-text prepared by Cathy Smith, Chloe P. H. Lewis, Josephine Paolucci, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Italian Popular Tales" by Thomas Frederick Crane is a collection of folk tales written in the late 19th century. The book aims to present a selection of traditional stories from Italy, primarily gathered from oral sources, and translated for English readers. These tales often feature elements of fantasy, morality, and cultural significance, providing insight into the Italian folk tradition. The opening of the collection presents the author’s intent, explaining that these narratives are taken directly from the mouths of the people, reflecting their oral storytelling tradition rather than polished literary forms. Crane highlights the structure of the tales and introduces the first story, "The King of Love," which follows a young woman named Rosella whose curiosity leads to her husband's disappearance. The narrative sets off a journey of trials, alliances with mystical beings, and ultimately a quest for reunion, showcasing the timeless themes of love, obedience, and the consequences of curiosity found within fairy tales.
