Biography His family moved to the town of Prilep in the Ottoman Empire from the nearby village of Oreovec. His father, Kosta, lived in Kruševo for some time before Marko was born in 1829 in Prilep. Since his father was a traveler, Tsepenkov earned the opportunity to travel. He lived in Ohrid and Struga and visited other places in the country by the time he was fourteen.

Legacy The "Institute of Folklore" of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences has a complete edition in six volumes of his folk materials. His collected folk works were published in ten books in the Socialist Republic of Macedonia in 1972. A selection of his folktales have been published in English, such as 19th Century Macedonian Folktales by the Macquarie University in Sydney in 1991. In his honor, the Macedonian institute for folklore is named after him. According to the Macedonian historiography in the post-World War II period, he was an ethnic Macedonian writer and poet. Per an UDBA document, the Macedonian cultural historian and folklorist Blaže Ristovski, who was director of the Institute of folklore "Marko Cepenkov" in Skopje, said there is no document where Tsepenkov presented himself as an ethnic Macedonian. A local publication in present-day North Macedonia published a non-redacted version of his work Siljan the Stork in 2006.
