“Tales from the Past” is a collection of stories by Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić, first published in 1916. Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić was often called the "Croatian Andersen" or the "Croatian Tolkien" because of her style and rich imagination.

"Tales from the past" are a collection of fairy tales that combine elements of Slavic mythology, folk tales and the author's imagination. Each story is set in an imaginary world filled with wondrous creatures, mythological characters and moral lessons. Although inspired by folk tradition, the stories are original, with unique plots and characters.

Main stories in the collection: "Stryborova Forest" - The story of a young man who marries an evil girl, and his mother, with the help of the miraculous beings from the Striborova Forest, tries to free him from an evil spell. It thematizes the choice between fleeting pleasure and permanent happiness.

"Lutonjica Toporko and nine prefects" - The story of a boy Lutonjica and his wonderful adventure with nine little helpers.

"Brother Jaglenac and sister Rutvica" - A story about a brother and sister's fight against evil with the help of miraculous powers and loyalty.

Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić relied on Slavic mythology, including motifs of gods, spirits and other mythological beings. The stories often explore universal themes such as love, sacrifice, truth, justice and friendship. Her writing style is poetic, rich in archaic expressions and descriptions that evoke a magical world.
