Given Romania"s long and diverse cultural history, it is no surprise that the country has such a rich tapestry of folk tales, fairy tales, and legends. It is fortunate that so many of these stories survived the country"s turbulent history and were passed down throughout the ages to countless Romanian children.

A percentage of the sales from this book will be donated to support the under-privileged people of Romania in their fight against poverty and discrimination
