How Niteczka the Tailor came to be King
by Kornel Makuszyński
translated by Kazuko Adachi

An enduringly popular children’s tale from one of Poland’s best loved authors. Niteczka the tailor, armed with just his needle and thread, sets out on an adventure to find the kingdom which will give him his crown. Adachi’s rhythmical translation captures Makuszy?ski’s magical world, rendered beautifully by veteran illustrator Orli?ski, in his first work for a Japanese publisher.
