For each of the volumes of fairy tales in this edition, the afterword was written by exceptional humanists:

Volume 4 is closed by Professor Krzysztof Mrowcewicz with the afterword He got tired at the end, what he wrote about fairy tales – Mr. Krasicki and Mr. Jowialski.
Ignacy Krasicki’s REMAINING FAIRY TALES, as well as the previous volumes of fairy tales prepared in this edition, is an exceptional publication combining the wisdom and philosophy of the 18th pearls of Polish Enlightenment literature with the beauty and artistry of 21st century illustrations. IGNACY KRASICKI was an outstanding resident of Lidzbark Warmiński, where he spent nearly 30 years, serving as Bishop of Warmiński, but also devoting himself to literary work. His fairy tales, despite being over 200 years old, still manage to surprise, make you laugh, and at the same time encourage reflection.
So we invite you to a meeting with Polish art – literature and illustration, and their creators – outstanding representatives of Polish culture.
The partners of the publication are: the Local Government of the Warmia-Masuria Province, the District Office of Lidzbark Warmiński, the Municipality of Lidzbark Warmiński, the Rural Commune of Lidzbark Warmiński, Polmlek Lidzbark Warmiński, Hotel Krasicki and the State Forests.
We look forward to seeing you!
