You probably heard a bit about Maria Konopnicka during Polish lessons. That she was a poet, a famous author   Roty   and a fairy tale that everyone knows:   About the dwarfs and the orphan Marysia . Perhaps you also associate her with black and white photos - a serious lady in a hat and with a monocle ...

But did you know that Konopnicka was ahead of its time in every respect? This extremely bold, courageous, often controversial woman was not afraid to express her opinions firmly, and not everyone liked what she wrote and said. At the same time, she was very popular and many of her books became real bestsellers!

Someone like her certainly wouldn't want his works to be dusty on the dark shelves of libraries.

That is why we are giving you a beautiful new edition   For the berries   - the popular "forest book", which was wonderfully - modern, but with great respect for the text, illustrated by Katarzyna Minasowicz.
