Legends from Vamland is one of the most beautiful stories about human struggle against fear. The author blends Romanian legends and myths with those of cultures throughout the world. One can hardly find any noble and beautiful human aspiration in all the cultures of the world whose reflection is not to be found in Legends from Vamland. The author provides the image of the spiritual life of an imaginary people from an imaginary land. The result is a book of splendid originality. One of the first Romanian writers of science fiction, Vladimir Colin was also an important representative of Jewish culture in Romania. These tales have been abridged and retold for English readers by Luiza Carol, an award-winning writer, poet, and translator. The stories are enhanced by a series of beautiful original illustrations done by the renowned Romanian graphic artist Octavian Ion Penda.
