The stories in this collection are different, both in the choice of writing method and in the approach to the topic.
They are all connected by the same motif, namely the motifs of traditional toys from the Croatian Zagorje region, and the writing style varies from fantastical expression bordering on dystopia, to realistic short stories, the form of a classic fairy tale and fantasy.
The children read about "real Sarajlians" whom the author calls "Indians" because they are natives of their city - they know every street, every corner and every secret like the Indians knew their forests.

J. B. S. Haldane (1892–1964), a British geneticist, evolutionary biologist, and science popularizer, wrote "My Friend Mr. Leakey" in 1937 – a collection of five humorous, fantastic stories for children (and adults).
The main characters here are a mother, an actress by profession, and her daughter. Navigating the world of theater and art, and working on a play by a young author, they find their way to each other.
