Grigor Vitez (1911–1966), one of the most beloved Croatian poets for children, published the collection "One Hundred Wolves and Other Poems for Children" in 1957, which quickly became a classic of children's literature.
This collection, the fourth volume of "Selected Works", contains around 200 poems that were not included in Tino's main collections of that period. Nedjeljko Mihanović compiled the collection based on manuscripts, journals and archives.
In this collection, the poet explores the themes of human existence, struggle, and the relationship between man and nature, using stone as a symbol of durability and strength.
The illustrations for this book were made by students of primary schools: Sedmi maj - Vrbovec, I. Gojak - Karlovac, Seven Secretaries of SKOJ - Zagreb, Krešo Rakić - Zagreb, Crveni oktobar - Zagreb, Marijan Grozaj - Ivanić-Grad, Siget - Zagreb.
Through a series of connected episodes, the author describes his childhood and youth in the village, interweaving personal experiences with the historical and social context of the time.
