The Man of Stone (Omul de piatră) is a Romanian fairy tale collected by Petre Ispirescu in Legende sau basmele românilor.
The prince went into it and found a spy glass that showed him the beautiful Princess Kiralina, and he fell so in love with her that he was sick and near dying.
Once there, the person had to make a golden stag and use it to smuggle himself into the princess's room, but whoever knew that would be turned to stone up to his waist.
If that succeeded and the princess married, the Northwind's mother would spitefully send her a dress of cobwebs, and unless she washed in the tears of doves, she would be killed.
The cook's son pricked his finger and put the blood on the dead child, who came back to life.
Most of the plot, however, is similar to such fairy tales as Trusty John, In Love with a Statue, and Father Roquelaure.
