Elpl, Řada pohádek a pověstí nasbíraných v Líšni u Brna (Moravia).
B. M. Kulda, Moravské národní pohádky a pověsti, i. (Prague, 1874). From Moravia.
The first two stories (“Twelve Months,” “Víťazko”) have been retold by the novelist Božena Němcová (from the Slovak).
My translation could not be, of course, a literal one, because many phrases in the original might seem strange to the English reader’s ear.
Finally, I wish to express my thanks to Miss Eleanor Hull and Mr. Robin Flower for revising my English.
JOSEF BAUDIŠ.
