Abstract "The book also includes translations of 17 brief folk stories about Vlad Ţepeş, known as Dracula. Contrary to the prevailing fictive image, these stories portray Vlad as a wise although strict ruler and a proud defender of his country's autonomy. An introduction discusses the village and its traditions, making comparison to historic and to the fictional Dracula"-- Provided by publisher.
