Neopolitan 'fairy' stories/mythical creatures etc.

[anjgi]

I'm hoping to find out about mythical stories, fairy stories, bogey men, etc... from the Naples area. You know the kind of thing - stories passed down from mother to child about the little people, or the heroes, or evil doers. Superstitions etc... Or just tall tales that have stood the test of time.
thanks

If you go down the listings which are small lettered on the far right you will get to books of each of these stories sold by Amazon. It is easy to miss so look closely. =Peter=
