“What comes to your mind when you think of the word Transylvania, if you ponder it at all? What comes to my mind are mountains of savage beauty, ancient castles, werewolves, and witches - a land of magical obscurity.

First, Snagov - I set out tomorrow.” IfsThinkingKnowsMindFirstsBelieveStillsLandTomorrowMountainEuropeAncientRealmsWitchSavagesEnteringCastlesObscurityPonderingWerewolfTransylvania Author:Elizabeth Kostova
