Abstract

The Istrian contribution to the development of Croatian children’s literature is primarily
evident in the activities of children’s magazines that emerged there in the early 20th century. Vladimir Nazor published his best children’s stories in these magazines, which are now considered a fundamental contribution to the overall development of this genre in Croatian children’s literature. Nazor left a testimony of his work in the form of a letter, which has been referenced in recent literary–theoretical and literary–historical accounts of Croatian children’s literature. Despite being an important document, it has not been extensively researched or commented on thus far. The aim of this paper is therefore to present its content and the circumstances in which it was created, and to highlight its importance as a comprehensive document in the study of the development of Croatian children’s literature.
