Croatian Tales of Long Ago collects six stories written by famous author Ivana Berlic-mazuranic about 100 years ago. These are geared towards children with a heavy focus on morality.
I liked it well enough for what it was. This author is famous in Croatia and was recommended to me. The stories are similar to fairy tales, focusing on fantastic events/creatures/situations and how people respond in them. They remind children to be content, noble, and true in all circumstances. There's always a happy ending, and good is ultimately rewarded, even if tribulation is present at first. I wouldn't count these as the most gripping or interesting of all stories, but there is good here.
