I found this a lovely little series, ostensibly meant for young Czech readers, but rather Grimm at times (as you can see).

(page 2)

I'm guessing the series was published in the ~1970's. Happily for English-speakers, it was recently translated by one "Tomalakis." So then, here's 13 mini-chapters you can read:

Artist Jiří Kalousek worked effectively in a variety of styles, and passed away in 1986. More samples of the artist here:

I host an alternate front for imgur at imgur.kitsuna.net just replace any imgur url with it. In the case of this post thats https://imgur.kitsuna.net/InGvhxF.jpeg

You can use the Firefox addon libredirect to do this automatically

Ah, sweet. I see it also works for galleries, too.

Couple things with that, tho: 1) the images are surprisingly tiny on that page, so it would be nice if they could at least 'fit to width,' 2) you can't click on them to blow up, instead needing to right-click, opening image in new tab.

The reason I bring those nitpicks up is because often I share a range of pages in a single Imgur gallery in order to make it easier for others to read a sequential story.

Unfortunately I didn't make it myself I'm just utilizing Rimgo may be worth making a feature request for it
