Abstract
One of the most famous and most prolific collectors of Croatian folk literature in Vojvodina, Balint Vujkov, collected, processed and wrote about 1400 stories in about ten books for almost six decades of his collecting work. He left behind unpublished manuscripts that were posthumously printed with the overprint of well-known, but unaltered folk tales. In honor of this, in 2002, the Croatian Reading Room Subotica has organized Dane Balinta Vujkova, dane hrvatske knjige i riječi that have been co-organized with the City Library of Subotica since 2007. Since 2009 it is being held continuously during October, the book month.. This largest literary event of the Croatians in Vojvodina brings together all age groups from children, youth, educators, writers, citizens, and scientific and public experts for three days to explore, present and valorize literary heritage with a special emphasis on folk literature and preservation of folk language which Balint Vujkov has promoted.
