A 1921 Prague collection of Czech fairy tales, compiled by Bozena Nemcová and Václav Tille and illustrated by Artus Scheiner, aimed at children. The pictures are black-and-white line drawings with sparse, economical shading, showing folk-tale figures in rustic settings; a designer might borrow their simple contour line work, flat woodland backdrops, and storybook staging for children's graphics.
