Dramatisations of Calvino's most famous works, starring Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook, plus bonus programmes. Italo Calvino was one of the 20th Century's great experimenters, who consistently pushed the boundaries of literature. His works ranged from fantasy and science fiction to folktales and neo-realism, but he is best known for If on a winter's night a traveller , Marcovaldo and Invisible Cities . Radio adaptations of all three are collected here, alongside a comic short story by Calvino and two illuminating programmes about his ideas and writing.
