Parker Hoysted Fillmore (1878-1944) was the author of Czechoslovak Fairy Tales (1919), Shoemaker's Apron (1920), The Laughing Prince (1921), Mighty Mikko (1922) and The Wizard of the North (1923). This rendering of some of the old Czechoslovak tales is not offered as a literal translation or a scholarly translation. I have retold the stories in a way that I hope will please American children. I have tried hard to keep the flavor of the originals but have taken the liberty of a short cut here and an elaboration there wherever these have seemed to me to make the English version clearer and more interesting..
