SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. STORY: The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit, practical jokes, and life lessons contribute to the mosaic. In addition to its literary value and widespread influence (for example on Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales), it provides a document of life at the time. Written in the vernacular of the Florentine language, it is considered a masterpiece of classical early Italian prose.(Wiki) Pictorial DJ covered in mylar; price of 95 cents; DJ dates this as Spring 1934, has Caldwell not Heyward, listed in the 225 Titles on inside and back of cover; has chip on top of spine (see scan). Book is covered in green balloon cloth, binding #7, Kent endpapers, spine has fading. THE DECAMERON has stood virtually unchallenged in its supremacy as the world's greatest collection of tales.
