Folktales about The Tatras in children’s literature

Abstract

In my contribution I will discuss the folktales about the Tatras and their reference in children’s literature. I will focus mainly on the stories that appear in the textbook of Slovak literature for the 5th year of elementary schools. Specifically, the tale of Tatranská Kikimora, but also others are discussed. Through this and other individual stories, pupils can learn and get to know more about the environment in which they live.
