Peter Riley: The Dance at Mociu
The Dance at Mociu brings together a number of the author's 'stories' of Transylvania, a remote part of Romania that he and his wife have been visting annually for several years, chiefly in search of local musicians, but also out of a growing fascination with this almost-unknown peasant culture.
