Oscar Wilde told and retold his fairy tales to friends in private readings, refining them further each time before finally publishing them in two collections between 1888 and 1891 to great acclaim and lasting popularity ever since.

Chi lo dice che ogni storia deve avere un finale? A Gianni Rodari non piacevano le regole date senza motivo, e che una storia fosse obbligata ad avere uno e un solo finale, gli sembrava una regola da mettere alla prova, per vedere se era una regola buona o no. Ed ecco il risultato: "Tante storie per giocare", un libro di racconti bizzarri, a volte fiabeschi a volte surreali, dal finale aperto. L'autore ne suggerisce tre per ogni storia, e invita i bambini a scegliere quello che preferiscono e motivare il perché, oppure a scriverne uno nuovo da loro stessi.
