{{Tr|an unknown hand}}. This translation begins: "This story is not fantastic; it is merely romantic. Are we to conclude that it is not true, its unreality being granted? That would be a mistake.

Among 7 "New Holiday Juveniles" advertised by its US publisher, NY Times 1894-12-15 p3; this one with 38 full-page illustrations "... The supernatural fears of the peasants of Transylvania have much to do with the first part of the book, but that is all. ..."
