Old Czech Legends

Thirty-five legends, collected and creatively adapted by Alois Jirásek, are divided into three sections: Ancient Bohemian Legends, Legends of the Christian Era, and Ancient Prophecies. It is here that you can read, among other things, about Forefather Čech, Krok and his daughters, Přemysl and Libuše’s prophecies, old Prague, the tricks of the magician Žito, and the lives of the Kutná Hora miners.
