Miloš Macourek
1926 - 2002Прежде чем заняться литературной деятельностью, Мацоурек перепробовал много профессий. Литературное творчество начал как поэт, однако после первой опубликованной книги стихов в начале 1960-х годов издал несколько книг сказок, которые были переведены на многие языки, в том числе на русский. В это же время Мацоурек начал писать киносценарии. В кино у него сложились прочные творческие союзы с режиссёрами Вацлавом Ворличеком и Олдржихом Липским.
Постоянным иллюстратором сказок Мацоурека стал график Адольф Борн, с которым они создали сериал о приключениях школьников Маха и Шебестовой, выходивший параллельно в мультипликационном и книжном виде, причём Борн был указан в качестве соавтора.
Скончался Милош Мацоурек в 2002 году.

Ivan Vyskočil
A satiric film that through a lecture of a cracked brain pedant describes the increasing disobedience of children. It calls us for protection against misbehaved children and wants to "defend" the world of adults from disastrous consequences of the ungrateful children's deeds. The film is remarkable for the inimitable humor of Milos Macourek.

In a sad manner it tells us a humorous story of a man living double life: one of a beaten little clerk, humiliated by his arrogant boss, imperious wife and misbehaved descendant; the other of a spoiled hero of a dream empire full of beautiful and tender women, flowers and fantastic figures. From artistic point of view is the film based on Adolf Born's lithographs.
