A major collection of Romanian popular legends recorded by Moses Gaster 1856-1934 an eminent folklorist and Hebraic scholar which includes Gaster's lengthy highly important introduction pages 1-59 in which he discusses his folk tale migration theory in detail. "In these Romanian popular legends so strikingly in contrast to the fairy tales of western Europe one can see evidences of the stage when 'marvelous and wonder-working animals' were implicitly accepted as part of the popular faith . Paganism and gnosticism mix happily. 'The heathen gods the Christian saints God and the devil legends fairy tales oriental imagery mystical traditions and astrological lore are all inextricably blended together.' In a sense the collection is mis-titled for these are actually creation and biblical folk legends in which birds and beasts play a part." - Dorson The British Folklorists pp. 273-6.
