Hungary nestles in the crossroads of Europe, and so Hungarian culture shares elements from West and East, with a rich tradition of folk beliefs and folktales that have been passed down through the generations. This delightful collection gathers together tales told by the authors and folklorists Baroness Orczy, Janos Kriza, John Erdelyi and Julius Pap: tales of fairy folk, adventure and adversity, fables and lessons, magical creatures and transformations - from 'Uletka and the White Lizard' with its echoes of Snow White, to the adventure of 'Prince Mirko' with its bloodshed and diamond castles.
FLAME TREE 451: From myth to mystery, the supernatural to horror, fantasy and science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a healthy diet of werewolves and mechanical men, blood-lusty vampires, dastardly villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations and escapist fantasies. Discover a storehouse of tales gathered specifically for the reader of the fantastic.
