| − | ''The King Stag'' written in 1762 by Carlo Gozzi [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Gozzi] (1720-1806). Carlo Gozzi's magical tale brings to life King Deramo, the faithful Angela who loves him, his treacherous prime minister Tartaglia, several hare-brained members of his court, a magician, a parrot, magical stags, and a giant bear. It's a fairy tale for all ages, a story of love and betrayal, intrigue and mirth, magic spells and pageantry. It is a fantastical and at times satirical look at the destructive vices of ambition, jealousy, and lust, and the power of true love to transform and transcend them all. And like all good fairy tales, "The King Stag" is not only about enchantment. It's also enchanting.
