This book is a compilation of some timeless legendary stories. Separate stories were scattered across different media. The intention was to record them in a book. Children's parents were children once too. All of us have heard these stories from our elders in our childhood. We also read them in books. Interspersed in these stories are some important life lessons, teaching, and values - which I think are very much helpful in a child's future to make decisions when requires. It also helps to become a complete person. Hence these stories are immortalized beyond the boundaries of countries and eras. I have written this book with the help and research of many fables, foreign literature, folklore, expert opinions, and historians. Children are its intended readers. If they and their parents like this book, I will consider my efforts worthwhile. Hope you will collect the book and recommend it to others to do so.

"Born from Professor George C. Klein's adoption of two Romanian babies in 1990, this work is a personal and analytical autobiography. Compiling data from the 1989 Romanian revolution, the oppression that led to the overthrow of Communism, and his personal experiences in Romania, The Adventure is primarily a description of the torturous process he and his wife endured in order to adopt two babies from a Romanian orphanage. It is also an examination of Romanian society from an institutional, national, and global perspective. The author analyzes individual issues such as forced pregnancies, neglect in orphanages, and economic deprivation. Professor Klein examines how the Romanian Communist Party held power in that era and explores the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. His adept study discusses the various socio-economic and political factors that led to the collapse of Communism, and, ultimately, to the successful adoption of his Romanian children."--BOOK JACKET.
