A magical, mystical novella about the art and power of storytelling, this is Italo Calvino’s miniature masterpiece.
A group of travellers chance to meet, first in a castle, then in a tavern. Having mysteriously lost their powers of speech, they must tell their tales using only a deck of tarot cards.
