THE Rumanian Fairy Tales which appear now for the first time in an English translation form only a small portion of the vast treasure of tales and legends known and told in Rumania。Those included in this volume have been taken mostly from the collections of Stancescu， Ispirescu， Ion Creanga and others。They have been selected not only for their internal beauty and for being characteristically Rumanian， but also because they form a distinct addition to the literature of the Folk Tales of the world。They are almost unique inasmuch as scarcely any parallels to them can be found elsewhere。
I have endeavoured in my translation not only as far as possible to follow the original closely， but also to retain the terseness and simplicity of style and the beauty of the imagery。I hope they will meet with the same hearty welcome from English readers as they have enjoyed for a long time past in their own country。
《羅馬尼亞傳說與神話》的英語版現在終於登場亮相，它隻占羅馬尼亞眾所周知和廣為流傳的巨大傳說與神話寶庫的一小部分。本書內容大多取材於斯坦塞斯庫選集、伊斯匹列斯庫選集、伊昂·克裏安格選集以及其他人的選集。之所以被選入本書，不僅是因為它們具有內在美，具有鮮明的羅馬尼亞特點，而且是因為它們為世界傳說與神話文學寶庫增添了無限的生機。與同類作品相比，它們有獨到之處，在其他地方幾乎很少見到這些特點鮮明的傳說與神話。
在譯文中，我盡力使其貼近原作的精髓，也盡可能保留原作簡潔、精練、明快的風格，豐滿、豔麗的形象。我衷心希望這些傳說與神話會受到廣大英語讀者的熱烈歡迎，正如長期以來在羅馬尼亞國內盛況空前地受到熱忱歡迎一樣。
