With a fresh introduction this new collection will acquaint you with classic tales such as 'The Three Roses' and 'The Witch and the Horseshoes'. The lively stories of the Czech people are parables and moral fables - rich with satire they cling to the hope that all will come well in the end, that justice will be well served by truth.
