Abstract

Krunoslav Kuten, one of the most appreciated Croatian children’s poets of the 19th century, was born in the town of Vrbovec into the modest family of a cooper. He finished grammar school in Zagreb and afterwards was employed as a municipal clerk. He published children’s poetry in the children’s magazine Smilje [Immortelle]. He was also the author of several occasional poems and a poetry collection titled Primula veris (1879), praised by the renowned Croatian novelist August Šenoa. For the first time since 1882, this issue of Libri & Liberi presents Kuten’s story “Rabbit Hospital” and its original illustration. The story is equally interesting for adults and children, and reveals Kuten’s skill as a distinguished and witty storyteller.
