Rok na zamku

The action takes place in the castle of King Bolebor and Queen Drogomira. Author and illustrator Nikola Kucharska invites the reader to explore every corner of this multifaceted castle through all the months of the year, day in and day out. It is composed of 13 spreads (or chapters), starting with a presentation of all the characters, followed by elaborate spreads that feature each of the characters engaged in their own lives and stories which develop further with each turn of the page. Every spread is also a complete scene in itself, full of charming details that spark plenty of associations and ideas – everything from secret chambers, mysterious machines, playful elves, spooky ghosts, and flying dragons to a terrifying Dark Wolf. These charming and detailed illustrations draw young readers into the story and the actions and emotions of the characters – joy and excitement, danger and fear, fear and sadness, strength and bravery, through contact with the familiar and the astonishing. This book is the latest in the popular series that follows a single theme through all 12 months of the year.
