Books like Our Ancestors: The Cloven Viscount, The Baron in the Trees, The Non-Existent Knight

My favourite story in this collection is The Baron in the Trees which is a wonderful fairy tale about a kid who wouldn't finish his dinner, decides to live in a tree, and crosses Europe from Italy to southern Spain without once touching the ground. It is a beautiful, masterful tale that reminds us how man in the last 6 or 7 centuries has destroyed many of the forests and natural diversity that existed on the Mediterranean coast in the middle ages. It can be read again and again and is absolutely captivating. That reminds me that I still need to read it to my kid!The other two stories in this collection, The Cloven Viscount and The Non-Existent are both exemplary of the softer more dreamy side of Calvino's writing and incredible imagination.
