Ota Hofman

A contemporary Czech librarian dedicated his entire literary work to children.

The Hour of Blue Elephants is one of Hoffmann's most successful books, in which it tells about the adventure of the girl Zuzanka and the boy Tomas, who are in search of an elephant's eye - without which the Christmas tree will not light up and the children will be left without gifts. A wonderful immersion in the world of children's imagination, imperceptible transitions from waking to dream and vice versa, make up the content of this interesting children's book.
