Abstract

The review article discusses the book Po pierwsze. O literaturze dla dzieci (i nie tylko) [Firstly: About Children’s Literature (and not only)] co-authored by literary scholars from the University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland): Iwona Gralewicz-Wolny and Beata Mytych-Forajter (2019). The book is a continuation of the publication of the same researchers entitled Uwolnić Pippi! Twórczość dla dzieci wobec przemian kultury [Free Pippi! Children’s Literature and Cultural Changes] (2013). In both, the emphasis is clearly put on the Nordic, i.e. Scandinavian and Finnish literature, as evidenced both by the selection of the analysed material and, for example, by the cover illustrations. Therefore, it is discussed first in the review – and from a comparative perspective, since the authors explore the same books as in 2013, mainly the works by Astrid Lindgren and Tove Jansson. The remaining chapters of the volume are divided into classics, which clearly dominate, and newer books. The article concludes with a comment on the title of the reviewed book and its overall evaluation.
