Description
The series of books about Kulihráškovi, which from 1926 to 1935 saw fourteen volumes, was among the most popular reading for younger schoolchildren between the wars. Kulihrášek's adventures, standing at the intersection of a picture book and a comic, offered children a successful combination of education and cheerful adventures. Contemporary educators appreciated the verses of Marta Voleská (1905–1985), but the main charm of the books lay in the illustrations of Artuš Scheiner (1863–1938), whose work, rooted in the Art Nouveau period, temporarily became almost synonymous with the ideal artistic accompaniment to the fairy tale genre. The book presents the very first thorough study of Scheiner's life and work, as well as a complete collection of all Kulihrášek's stories. All of this is supplemented with Scheiner's visual scripts, examples of correspondence, and other materials that shed light on the creation of the famous series.
