description: The ethical dimension, the fantastic ingredients of the Romanian folk-tales place them among the finest creation of this genre. One may equally mention the superlative art of popular fantasy, a secret deliberate inspiration that raises the dialogue, the narrative rhythm, the deliniation of characters, the psychologic gradation of effects, the dramatic impact of certain moments, to the heights of creation and perfection. The clause of the Romanian folk-tale --- often possessing the charm of the spoken phrase --- has the musical quality and stylistic elegance peculiar to pages of verbal magic.
