About this listen
A hunter and a fox outwit a hungry serpent. A clever winnower charms the King of England. A fairy gives a little boy his life in a ball of thread. These twelve old Italian tales feature shepherds and sultans, a foolish bride and a wise judge, an Italian Cinderella and Persian cats. Their heroes all share a quick wit and a contagious enthusiasm for life, and are always rewarded in the end.
Domenico Vittorini heard these tales as a child and told them in turn to his own children. The Thread of Life evokes the flavors and aromas of a lively Italian countryside--gnarled olive trees, guitar music, and a grand Italian storytelling tradition.
