Description
Scarce early Czech edition of Templáři v Čechách by Prokop Chocholoušek, issued by Jos. R. Vilímek in Prague in the Vilímkova knihovna malého čtenáře series. This is an appealing historical title centered on the Templars in Bohemia, adapted for younger readers by Fr. Hrnčíř and noted on the title page as having 38 illustrations. The book has strong shelf presence and real collector appeal because it preserves its early Vilímek issue identity while also touching the always-popular Templar and medieval history theme.

This is a desirable copy for collectors of Czech literature, Vilímek publications, juvenile series books, historical fiction, and Templar-related material.
