Kornel Makuszyński
Kornel Makuszyński (1884–1953), born in Stryj [now Stryy, Ukraine], writer, journalist and drama critic, one of the most popular authors of children’s books, spent his youth in Lwów [now L’viv, Ukraine] where he went to grammar school and studied at the Philosophical Department of the Jan Kazimierz University. Before World War I, he worked as dramaturg at the Municipal Theatre in Lwów. During the war, Makuszyński and his first wife Emilia Bażeńska were deported to Russia. Released on his friends’ pledge, he returned home, worked for several months at the Municipal Theatre in Lwów, subsequently leaving the city for good. Till 1918, he lived in Kiev, was dramaturg at Stanisława Wysocka’s Polish Theatre and acted as President of the local Society of Writers and Journalists. While in Kiev, he wrote his first novels.
A new period started in the writer’s life, after Poland regained independence and Makuszyński settled in Warsaw. In the 1930s he wrote his most popular books for children and young people. These were  Przygody Koziołka Matołka  [Silly Billy Goat’s Adventures];  O dwóch takich co ukradli księżyc  [The Moon-stealing Two];  Przyjaciel Wesołego Diabła  [Joyful Devil’s Friend];  Skrzydlaty chłopiec  [Winged Boy];  Wielka brama  [Great Gate];  Wyprawa pod psem  [Dog-omened Expedition];  Szatan z siódmej klasy  [Seventh-grade Satan];  List z tamtego świata  [Otherworldly Letter]. Active as a novelist, he was also a prolific journalist. His comments and reviews appeared in almost all of the popular periodicals, making him one of the best-known figures in Warsaw’s artistic and social life. From 1934, Zakopane acted as second home to Makuszyński and his second wife Janina ne Gluzińska.
My favourite book is
Adventure s of  sixte e n  years old girl who is really brave and amazing.   Her father lives abroad . Ewa  all the time get into the trouble. She makes her aunt mad every morning, afternoon and…evening! She meets lots of new, interesting people and…animals;)
