Transylvania

Transylvania is the birthplace of Dracula, where the Pied Piper carried the children of Hamelin, and home to "Harry Potter's" dragons. It's a place where truth is often stranger than fiction: streams run with silver, the mountains are full of gold, and haystacks can be found in trees. Newly awakened from its communist years, Transylvania is changing rapidly. In splendid photographs and sparkling text, this handsome large-format book captures a land both steeped in tradition and embracing the future.
