Cruel Little Ballads - English edition #626322

“Cruel Little Ballads” is an anthology of short stories, far too short to tell us the past or the future of the cratures and humans who are their unlucky protagonists. Only their present we are allowed to know. A present of encounters between mortals and ancient creatures who punish the arrogance and cruelty in which mankind far too often revels. Some stories have a strong ethical and environmental imprint, others are only about fantastic situations, recalling old ballads from original Folklore.
