Four years planning and preparing, this new edition features 200 pages of Erben's poetry with illustrations by Míla Fürstová; an introduction by Professor Geoffrey Chew explaining how these poems inspired composers like Antonín Dvořák to compose his symphonic poems; 13 scary folk-tales written as poems; Erben's original Afterword outlining the origin of the folk-tales and additional poetry fragments newly translated by Susan Reynolds.
