How my mother told me about Czechoslovakia

Is history boring? Definitely not with Action Mom. Mommy-reporter finds out where the original of our anthem is stored, saves the dress of a First Republic film star, discusses the defence of the country in 1938 with tin soldiers, gets an elevator overturned in Zlin and finds herself in Gottwaldov, watches the arrival of the soldiers in 1968 in a radio building, experiences totalitarianism with a TV presenter, recalls why people jingled keys in November 1989, and experiences the division of Czechoslovakia in Villa Tugendhat. In 11 fairy tales, Michaela Vetešková introduces children to the most important milestones of our 20th century history, from the establishment of an independent Czechoslovakia in 1918 to its division in 1992. The book is accompanied by an "explanatory note" in which the facts appearing in the fairy tales are briefly described. It focuses on personalities such as President Tomáš G. Masaryk, Edvard Beneš, Klement Gottwald, Václav Havel, as well as events such as the signing of the Munich Agreement and institutions, including Czech Radio.
