Výbor z klasického díla švédské myslitelky Ellen Key (1849–1926), která svými úvahami o výchově na přelomu 19. a 20. století zásadně ovlivnila pedagogické myšlení zejména ve Skandinávii a v Německu, ale i v Itálii, USA a Japonsku. Kniha obsahuje texty zabývající se úvahami o výchově dětí. Pozoruhodná je jejich nadčasovost, čtenář v nich zajisté rozpozná „věčná“ výchovná témata, která jsou i po více než sto letech stále předmětem pedagogického diskurzu. Autorka se jimi zabývá s pozoruhodným zápalem pro věc a s velkou dávkou temperamentního humoru. Dočteme se tak o „škole budoucnosti“, o úskalích náboženské výchovy nebo o „vraždění duší“ ve školách. Ellen Key (1849–1926), švédská pedagožka, spisovatelka a myslitelka, se počátkem 20. století v Evropě proslavila zejména jako autorka pojednání o výchově nové generace Století dítěte, napsala však i řadu dalších esejů a článků, které získaly mezinárodní ohlas. Ve své době byla nazývána díky svým hojným kontaktům s významnými osobnostmi „babičkou Evropy“. V poslední době byl ve Švédsku obnoven zájem o její polozapomenuté dílo a objevují se snahy znovu nahlédnout některé její myšlenky a práce ze současné perspektivy.

Readers will love The Dragon Egg Princess for its humor, inventive magic, and thrilling action! --Linda Sue Park, Newbery Medalist and New York Times bestselling author In a kingdom filled with magic, Jiho Park and his family are an anomaly--magic doesn't affect them. Jiho comes from a long line of forest rangers who protect the Kidahara--an ancient and mysterious wood that is home to powerful supernatural creatures. But Jiho wants nothing to do with the dangerous forest. Five years ago, his father walked into the Kidahara and disappeared. Just like the young Princess Koko, the only daughter of the kingdom's royal family. Jiho knows better than anyone else the horrors that live deep in the magical forest and how those who go in never come back. Now the forest is in danger from foreign forces that want to destroy it, and a long-forgotten evil that's been lurking deep in the Kidahara for centuries finally begins to awaken. Can a magic-less boy, a fierce bandit leader, and a lost princess join forces and save their worlds before it's too late?

Pohádky švédské pedagožky a spisovatelky, která ovlivnila mnoho velikánů pedagogiky, jako například Marii Montessori nebo Rudolfa Steinera. V letech 1868 až 1873 je napsala tehdy mladičká Ellen Key pro svou mladší sestru Adu. Nazvala je „skutečné pohádky“ (tj. na rozdíl od klasických pohádek se zabývají hlubšími úvahami o smyslu života) a jejich obsah je fascinující předzvěstí myšlenek, kterými se Ellen proslavila v pozdějších letech ve svých významnějších dílech.
