This book can be considered the true anthology of the folklore of the Romanians from the Timok Valley, who have kept the oral culture particularly alive. The project was initiated by Slavoljub Gacović, historian and archaeologist from Eastern Serbia, in collaboration with Virginia Popović, university professor at the Department of Romanian Language and Literature of the University of Novi Sad. The authors managed to put together a large part of the rich folk creation of the Romanians from Timok, which was collected by the great Romanian and foreign scholars, philologists and ethnologists, as well as by amateurs who are part of the Romanian community on the territory of Serbia from risen.
