El resultado, recortado y desvirtuado, es un somnífero para niños pequeños, que ha empalagado a generaciones de lectores adultos y traicionado, en la letra y en el espíritu, a la pluma del maravilloso Charles Perrault (Francia 1628-1703), maestro del misterio y el humor negro.

Le "Leggende sarde" scritte da Grazia Deledda sono notti buie e misteriose, popolate da baroni decaduti, cavalieri erranti, fraticelli furbastri, rigattieri con il terrore di un dio pagano, timide madonne, maghe prefiche, donne dispensatrici di doni e fantasticherie popolane da restare ammaliati. Si dà voce ai pastori erranti divorati da strani omini dispettosi, forniti di corna e falce. Ombre che paiono vivide nei crepuscoli di ogni vita, a metà tra il sonno e la veglia, che s'aggirano inquiete per campi e valli e vanno ad assolvere o maledire.
