Creangă's main contribution to fantasy and children's literature includes narratives structured around eponymous protagonists (Povestea lui Harap Alb, Ivan Turbincă, Dănilă Prepeleac), as well as fairy tales indebted to conventional forms (Povestea porcului, Capra cu trei iezi, Soacra cu trei nurori).

Quotes by Ion Creangă (?)

“Și apoi este o vorbă: că până la 20 de ani se însoară cineva singur; de la 20-25 îl însoară alții; de la 25-30 îl însoară o babă, iară de la 30 de ani înainte numai dracu-i vine de hac”
