Description:
"Jack Zipes has uncovered this neglected treasure trove of Sicilian folk and fairy tales. Laura Gonzenbach collected wonderful stories - some on subjects that readers will know from the Grimms or Perrault, some entirely new - and published them in German. Her early death and the destruction of her papers in the Messina earthquake of 1908 only add to the mystery behind her achievement." "The Robber with a Witch's Head presents more than forty new stories about demons and clever maidens and princes. Bursting with life, The Robber with a Witch's Head is a storyteller's dream, full of adventure and magic, expertly rendered by the translator of the Brothers Grimm."--BOOK JACKET.
