| Description | The literary creation for children and youth does not avoid the literary realizations of attitudes towards the old age. In this paper, we will introduce three diverse ways to capture the aging process, but also the rejuvenation of the mythical creatures. In the prose with a child hero Dračí polévka, the Vietnamese grandfather was reborn as a lush dragon, in the fairy tale Lichožrouti, three different fairytale creatures are preparing for the end of their lives and in the book for children František z kaštanu, Anežka ze slunečnic, it is used a metaphor of autumn describing the cyclicality of the life in nature. Although the mentioned books are dissimilar, the description of old or aging persons is carried in the positive note, they become a pattern for little readers. |
