The Facetious Nights of Straparola, published between 1550 and 1555, is a two-volume collection of stories that includes folk and fairy tales, novellas, and tragic stories.

It was influential in shaping European fairy tale literature, with stories later adapted by authors such as Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm.

The collection features a frame narrative where participants at a party on the island of Murano share tales ranging from bawdy to fantastical.
