Straparola's Piacevoli notti (1550–53; The Nights of Straparola) contains 75 novellas (short prose tales) that were later used as source material by William Shakespeare, Molière, and others; it introduced into European literature 20 folktales, among them “Beauty and the Beast” and “Puss in Boots.” Straparola's tales, drawn from many sources, soon became famous throughout Europe.
