This edition presents thirty-four Czech legends and tales, literary processed by Alois Jirasek. The texts of the collection are divided into two parts: tales from pagan times and tales from Christian times. They introduce the reader to the heroes, mythology, worldview and traditions of the Czech people. The texts are illustrated by the Czech artist Venceslav Černý.
Venceslav Černý (1865–1936) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, first in Prague and then in Vienna. His honed drawing skills allowed him to quickly begin collaborating with leading publishing houses in Prague. Černý illustrated the works of both Czech and foreign writers. His drawings decorate the texts of František Čečotka, Lidia Čarska, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Jules Verne and many other famous writers. Even during his lifetime, Černý was recognized as a talented book illustrator. The artist was also interested in history; He painted battle scenes and historical themes.

The Appendix at the end of the book contains illustrations from an earlier edition.
