Georgeta-Elena Enesel.
Quite a few of these Hungarian folktales feature King Matthias, a very clever ruler modeled on a real-life king. Fresh, funny, and well timed, many of these stories will be new to American readers. The tales, illustrated with quirky black-and-white line drawings, are followed by notes expanding on the stories' historical background and sources. Bib.
