The author, Emanuel Hercik, had studied and collected Czechoslovak folk-toys since 1919 and pursed a first-hand familiarity with the centers of production in his country. He made illustrations of them, recording their coloration, and published this volume in order to preserve what he recognized to be the ephemeral nature of children's playthings.
