Hot off the presses on Friday, we drank to the health of the book. “A Handful of Fairy Tales from Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia” is the fourth book of fairy tales and legends by Marketa Cekanova and Zdenek Zajicek, following their books from 2006, 2007, and 2010. And because I am constantly improving as an illustrator, it´s more beautiful than the last one ;-)

An exhibition of contemporary children’s illustrations will take place in the Museum of the capital city of Prague in Florenc, Prague, from 28th November 2012 to 24th February 2013. Curators said that they have put the accent on originality of the authors’ expressions and overlapping of other techniques and media when they made their choice. I am on the short-list of eleven authors, so you can see some illustrations from my own books “I’m Not Afraid of the Dark Any More” and “Holiday in Heaven”. If you would like to come, you would be very welcome at the opening of the exhibition 27th November at 5 p.m.

Strasice library is preparing to welcome the book “Legends of the Central Brdy Region” on Thursday 22nd November at 6 p. m. You can meet the author, illustrator, publisher, and maybe even hear some music.
