Footnote
1. This list does not include what I consider to be one of Calvino's most important contributions: 1956's "Italian Folktales."
2. Two related links: 1. Jennings also discussed Ludwig and soil quality in a post on her personal blog, My Inside Voices. 2. I mentioned Ken Ludwig in this February 2012 post about a now-vanished York County bookstore.
