Summary/Abstract: A prominent personality of Banat culture, Enea Hodoș was remarked in several fields, being philologist, folklorist, literary historian, publicist, teacher, editor. Although most researchers study his folklore collections, we must not forget his humorous sketches and the fairy tales he has published. Without attributing a remarkable literary and artistic value, his creations deserve to be known because his sketches bring in the forefront some characters specific for the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century who are portrayed in different circumstances and the fairy tales illustrate in their specific structure some actions and characters who were otherwise completely forgotten. Last but not the least, we observe the language used by the author, a teacher of Romanian language, in writing these stories. This article will present the fairy tales written by Enea Hodoș.
