Pavel Čech is currently one of our leading illustrators. In his next book, on which he worked non-stop for two years, a number of motifs that the artist likes reappear - his older oil paintings come to life, specific places and characters from his books On the Garden and The Secret of the Island Behind the Board Fence return. At the same time, the story is new, compact and completely unique. Čech's poetics acquired other unsuspected facets - after old age and death, the first fragile love and the desire to find one's place in a confusing world penetrated into the landscape of Foglar's celebration of boyhood dreams.
