Translators of Basile's work into the current speech of Italy therefore soon appeared, but the gross licentious language, the impropriety inter mingled with but too many of the tales, rendered them unfit for youthful readers, notwithstanding that Basile had placed as a second title on his frontispiece the words, A musementfir the Little Ones.
