Sažetak
Vinko Vošicki, a Koprivnica-based printer, active for over three decades, has mostly been known as a publisher of the Croatian left-wing authors Miroslav Krleža and August Cesarec in the 1920s, at the time when the government of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes banned all communist activities. He also established several publishing series, one of them being a serial of children’s popular literature Tako vam je bilo nekoć [Once Upon a Time] that he took over from the German publishers Dresdner Jugendschriften Verlag and Verlagshaus Freya. From 1919 to 1946, fifty-six low-cost single-signature paperback booklets were published, often reprinted several times. These booklets had an impact on many child readers in Croatia and beyond. During the Second World War, Vošicki printed some materials for the partisans, who also took his printing machines to the front. Nevertheless, when the war was over, Vošicki had trouble with the Communist authorities, in part also because of this serial publication, suffered media attacks and, finally, after they closed his business in 1946, he was sentenced to 60 days in prison.
