Abstract
The esteemed scholar, author and educator Luigi Capuana, like his contemporary and fellow Sicilian Giuseppe Pitrè, profited from his familiarity with Sicilian folklore and tradition to compose fairy tales that evoked the tradition of the oral tales, but he enriched them with a humour, fantasy and realism all his own. This article considers the extent to which Sicilian culture and folklore, the narrative style of Italian Verismo and literary tradition inform Capuana's five collections of fairy tales.
