Summary/Abstract: Vasile Gurzau, born in 1898, was a gifted storyteller who mastered this (almost extinct) art of storytelling despite the fact that he barely learned to read and write. He was born in Micherechi, Hungary, in a small Romanian community. His themes come both from Romanian folklore and Hungarian folklore. His stories are gathered now in a book.
