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 work is a combination of documentary records, personal reflections, and literary episodes, bringing the reader both historical information and an intimate picture of the war days.
