Maybe because they saw how it came about. I don’t know if children are really that interested in literature, but when I was presenting Czech poetry to them, they really did pay attention and asked questions.

To this day I’m proud of that work, that I managed to put together material for that collection of Czech poetry in such difficult conditions.
