Overview

Note: This fantasy story, intended for children and their nostalgic parents (longing for the Transylvanian folk tale characters of their childhood), is written in Romanian. Have you ever wondered how it would feel to wake up in the morning next to an Uncanny Winged Horse asking for hot embers to eat? That's exactly what happens to Vlad Ionescu, a simple boy jealous of his newborn twin brothers. He accidentally enters the Other Realm, a mythical world from Romanian folk tales, which opens only to certain children facing great trials who must come to terms with their emotions. Helped by the Meek People and the friendly Giants, Vlad must confront Dame Fairies, Dog-heads, Dragons, Solomonists, and, of course, a shrewd Vampire on his quest to reach the elusive St. John Fairies from the Living Lea, as ordered by the three Fairy Godmothers. You'd better learn from his mistakes-because you never know when Andilandi might put you on trial. In 2009, Călătoria lui Vlad pe Celălalt Tărâm won the prize for the best juvenile fiction book, awarded by the Bucharest Writers' Association. * * * Te-ai gandit cum ar fi sa te trezesti intr-o buna dimineata pe Celalalt Taram, alaturi de propriul tau Cal Nazdravan? Este exact ceea ce i s-a intamplat lui Vlad Ionescu, un baietel obisnuit ajuns intr-o lume neobisnuita. Ajutat de Blajini si de Uriasi, Vlad se va lupta cu Iele, Zmei, Strigoi, Capcani, Balauri si Solomonari, pentru a ajunge pana in Poiana Sanzienelor si a duce la indeplinire tainica misiune incredintata de Ursitoare. Invata din greselile lui. Nu se stie cand Andilandi te va pune la incercare si pe tine...
