LXXXVIII 188 pages, plus contents. The book has been covered in contact, and has a Dewey label on the tail of the spine; there is a date due slip and bar code on the front end paper and on the blank verso of the 'Prolologomeni' title page a library label, stamp and smaller barcode. The book has been borrowed once and apart from the library damage, which is purely aesthetic, is immaculate. The Prolegomena is a comprehensive guide to the Calabrese dialect. "I racconti ripubblicati in questa antologia sono stati tratti da 'Fiabe e Novelle Calabresi' di Letterario di Francia, raccolta (in due volumi divisi in tre parti) di Cunti oralmente traditi in dialetto calabrese meridionale d'area tirrenica" (Foreword)
