Grandma

A classic work of Czech literature, which has survived more than a century and a half, returns in a form it has never had before. This time he speaks in a language that today's children really understand - without archaisms, complicated sentences and words that adults had to puzzle over in primary school.

The story of the wise grandmother who comes to the Old Bleachery to visit her daughter and grandchildren remains the same. Barunka, Adélka, Jan and Vilém discover the world under her kind supervision, meet the princess, the crazy Viktorka and the clever hunter. The smell of spring meadows, winter Christmas and autumn fairs is still there - just wrapped in words that sound vivid and natural even to the ears of twenty-first century readers.

This edition is ideal for children who know the classic only from required reading and the film, for parents looking for a good night's reading together, and for anyone who wants to find out why Babička became the most published Czech book ever - and why it deserves to be today.

Because good stories never get old. They just need a new coat sometimes.
