| Summary | "Roumanian Fairy Tales" by Mite Kremnitz is a collection of traditional folktales from Romania that was compiled and adapted in the late 19th century. The tales explore themes of magic, transformation, and the struggles between good and evil, illustrating the rich cultural heritage of Romanian storytelling. Each story typically features characters that include princes, princesses, magical creatures, and clever protagonists who often engage in battles of wit. The opening portion of the collection introduces a variety of stories, starting with "Stan Bolovan," where a man and his wife lament their childlessness. After receiving the gift of a hundred children from an angelic visitor, they quickly find joy transforming into chaos as they struggle to provide for their numerous offspring. The narrative encapsulates the themes of desire and consequence, setting the stage for the fantastical elements that will unfold in subsequent tales. The rich language and engaging character interactions invite readers into a world where the natural and supernatural intertwine seamlessly, keeping them captivated through the exploration of Romanian folklore.
