Folklore and Stories of Romania

    I have managed to collect a few Romanian folkstories. Though I can't say whether they are period or not they do have the right flavour.
    Preliminarily I have divided the stories onto several pages with individual links to each story to help speed up load times. If these pages are still too big just let me know and I'll rearrange them into smaller pages.
