Walk with Ivana

Walk with Ivana

This is a big literary anniversary for Croatia – the most extraodinary childrens’ writer Ivana Brlić Mažuranić was born 150 years ago. That’s why the organisers of the Croatian Book Month (that takes place from 15 Oct to 15 Nov) decided to center the programme around Ivana. She is the symbol of storytelling in Croatia.

We were so happy to be invited to participate with a custom-made walking tour. Three tours took place in three Ivana’s towns – Ogulin, Slavonski Brod and Zagreb. Our very own Iva and Srebrenka Peregrin, a famous Croatian contemporary storytelling expert, led a group on a 2,5 hrs long tour filled with curiosities and tales. A special treat were storytelling intermezzos where Srebrenka shared Ivana’s stories in her enchanting way. Iva, on the other hand, shared some interesting facts from Ivana’s life. We were joined by a group of 35 people with one thing in common: they all grew up reading Ivana’s tales.
