The volume presents one of the masterpieces of 14th-century Italian literature, The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, in a simplified and illustrated version of ten of its most famous short stories. Thanks to the many reading supports, young readers can relive the atmosphere of the Middle Ages through reading – or listening to the audiobook – of courtly, dramatic and often very amusing episodes.
Decameron is part of The Easy Classics told by Carlo Scataglini, the series that re-proposes the classics of children’s literature, with some simplification criteria that help children to read and understand the stories independently.
