Petre Ispirescu

    January 1, 1830 – November 21, 1887

    Petre Ispirescu was a Romanian gatherer of folk tales, celebrated for his remarkable talent in retelling them. He dedicated himself to collecting and publishing Romanian folklore, with his compilations of tales, riddles, and proverbs valued today for their deep insight into Romanian folk works. His publications often began in periodicals before appearing as standalone volumes, some of which have become bibliographic rarities. Ispirescu's efforts were instrumental in preserving and disseminating the richness of Romanian oral traditions.
