Povestea frumoasei Ana și a căpcăunului Codin

Ana is a beautiful young woman who draws an ogre’s love. Codin is a warrior, unlike the gentle, well-mannered Ana. He tries to win her heart but must prove his worth. His looks hide a kind heart, which his deeds reveal. After he faces hard trials and shows his devotion, Ana loves him too.

Codin Maticiuc tells this love story as an urban fairy tale for children. It draws on real life and explores love beyond looks. It also sets good against evil, with love driving Codin’s quest. The tale speaks to readers who seek hope in others’ lives.

Maticiuc dedicates the book to his partner, Ana, and their family. The book also has a charitable aim. The author and publisher pledged all sales proceeds to the Metropolis Foundation. The funds support its #spitalepublicedinbaniprivati project for public hospitals.
