How Niteczka the Tailor came to be King
by Kornel Makuszyński
translated by Kazuko Adachi
illus. by Bogusław Orliński
An enduringly popular children’s tale from one of Poland’s best loved authors. Niteczka the tailor, armed with just his needle and thread, sets out on an adventure to find the kingdom which will give him his crown. Adachi’s rhythmical translation captures Makuszyński’s magical world, rendered beautifully by veteran illustrator Orliński, in his first work for a Japanese publisher.
