G. K. Hunter Livres

This title is part of an inexpensive range of classics in the "Penguin Popular Classics" series.

This work is a classic Renaissance tale, taken largely from Boccaccio's Decameron, and concerns unrequited love, love renounced and love triumphant. It contains a fully developed sub-plot, concerning the worthless braggart Parolles, which is comically inventive.
