Mihai Eminescu is considered Romania's greatest poet. The Tear-Drop Prince is his only children's story and is popular throughout Romania. This is the tale of the Prince searching for true love, adventure and honour. Eminescu was born in 1850 and died in 1889. As a Romantic poet, his language reflects the sweetness in his language. The cover is illustrated by Emil Childescu and translated into English by A.I. Marin in 2011.
