Cunoastem oare continentul pe care traim? Ce ne poate spune folclorul care circula in spatiul european despre popoarele care locuiesc aici? Legendele si povestile din volumul de fata nu numai ca ne pot face cunoscute trasaturile stravechi ale popoarelor Europei, visele si credintele lor, traditiile si mentalitatile acestora, dar ne vor arata si cat de asemanatori suntem de fapt. Pentru micii cititori, ele sunt, in plus, tot atatea prilejuri de incantare, hrana pentru minte si imaginatie si, totodata, cel mai placut mod de a exersa cititul.
