If you can find translated works of Petre Ispirescu, that would probably be the best.

I see a few reviews from Romanian readers that are not very satisfied with the English translation. But honestly, I don't expect some of these old folk tales to translate very well.
@TheAncestor
A story to look for from Ispirescu is "Youth Everlasting". If you don't find it in that first book I've found, there's this one.
