Leland's prose is characterized by a vivid, lyrical style that captures the essence of Italian oral tradition, while his careful documentation of local myths and legends situates the work within the larger context of 19th-century ethnographic literature. This text serves not only as a repository of narratives but also as an insightful commentary on the social and historical undercurrents of Florence, blending the mythic with the mundane. Charles Godfrey Leland (1824-1903) was an American humorist and folklorist renowned for his passionate commitment to uncovering and preserving the ancient stories of Europe. His extensive travels through Italy and his deep appreciation for its art and culture inspired his exploration of Florentine legends.
