These nine adventures and two longer tales achieve an almost miraculous balance between the real and the imaginary, the familiar and the fabulous. (1994)

About the author

Italo Calvino (15 October 1923-19 September 1985) was an Italian journalist and writer of short stories and novels. His best known works include the Our Ancestors trilogy (1952-1959), the Cosmicomics collection of short stories (1965), and the novels Invisible Cities (1972) and If on a winter's night a traveler (1979).
