Asa-zisele “nuvele medievale” din volumul Castelul vrajitoarelor reprezinta treapta cea mai de sus a literaturii Mariei Luiza-Cristescu. Fara culoare istorica, dar echilibrat construite, cu o inteligenta ce nu mai tinde sa iasa in prim plan sufocandu-si obiectul, aceste nuvele au o structura alegorica si vag fantastica, figurand in principal raporturile dintre putere si morala intr-o lume unde dreptul fortei este intotdeauna mai puternic decat forta dreptului. (Mircea Iorgulescu)


The so-called “Medieval short stories” in The Witches' Castle are the highest stage reached by the literature of Maria Luiza Cristescu. Without any historical color, but built in a balanced way, with an intelligence that does not tend to capture the center-stage, suffocating its object, these short stories have an allegorical and fantastic structure, dealing mostly with the relationship between morality and power in a world where the law of force is always more powerful than the force of the law.
