| Summary | "Tuscan Folk-lore and Sketches" by Isabella M. Anderton is a collection of folk tales and sketches written in the early 20th century. The work explores the rich tapestry of Tuscan culture through stories told by local peasants and observations of their customs, hospitality, and environment. The tales blend elements of folklore, enchanting characters, and timeless moral lessons, capturing the essence of rural life in Tuscany. The opening of the book sets the stage for these evocative narratives, detailing the author's personal experience in a small Tuscan village during a summer stay. While recovering from illness, Anderton befriends an old peasant woman named Clementina, whose kindly nature and storytelling spark the collection. Through Clementina's tales, readers are introduced to memorable characters such as Elisa, a princess in a classic variation of Cinderella, and other enchanting figures from Tuscan folklore. The narrative invites readers to immerse themselves in the picturesque landscapes and vibrant community life, offering an intimate glimpse into the enduring cultural heritage of Tuscany.
