About the author

Giambattista Basile

d. 1632

Best known for shaping some of Europe’s earliest literary fairy tales, this Neapolitan writer mixed courtly style, sharp humor, and folklore in ways that still feel lively today. His stories, gathered in The Tale of Tales, helped lay groundwork for later fairy-tale traditions.
