View profile(1911-1971) – poet, translator, author of books for children, young adults and adults, classic author of Polish children’s literature.
Janczarski studied at the Department of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Lviv and at the Warsaw University, where he graduated in Polish studies. He was the driving force of the “Wołyń” poetry collective. He debuted in 1933 with the volume “Akwarela. Poezje” (Watercolour. Poems).
He published his first poem for children in the magazine “Słonko” in 1936. This initiated his regular contributions to children’s magazines “Poranek”, “Płomyczek” and “Mały Płomyczek”, for which he also translated texts from Russian. He worked for the publishing houses “Czytelnik” and “Nasza Księgarnia”, and edited poetry programmes for the Polish Radio. He was also the editor in chief of the children’s magazine “Miś”.
He published over 90 books for children, young adults and adults (in verse and prose), not counting publications in the press, the radio and TV. The most noteworthy of his often-reprinted children’s books include “Jak Wojtek został strażakiem” (How Wojtek Became a Firefighter), “Gdzie mieszka bajeczka” (Where the Fairytale Lives), “Płynie Wisła, płynie…” (On the Vistula Flows) and the most beloved and best-known cycle about the adventures of the teddy bear Miś Uszatek.
In 1957 he was awarded the golden Cross of Merit for his children’s writing, in 1958 – the Literary Award of the Capital City of Warsaw, and in 1960 – the Prime Minister’s Award.
