Karel Šiktanc: The Blackest Forest

"If suddenly a breeze or a bird, a clear cloud, a well in the midst of the rocks addresses us, we are petrified with sudden astonishment. For if a boy is addressed by something that has a tender girlish voice, it is as if the miracle itself had spoken to him. " This is a small excerpt from the script of the Sunday radio story. And as the text suggests, it is a fairy tale by the poet Karel Šiktanec full of magic, miracles and poetic metaphors.
