Konopnicka Maria
(1842—1910)
«Little Orphan Mary and the Gnomes»
«O krasnoludkach i sierotce Marysi»

Maria Konopnicka was a Polish poet, novelist, translator and essayist. She sometimes used pen names, often "Jan Sawa." Konopnicka was a representative poet of the Positivist period in Polish literature. She composed sensitive poetry that projects realism, freshness and spontaneity. Her writings touched on many questions that beset society in her time, and thus influenced the next generation of Polish poets and novelists.

Works for children, in prose and verse, published from 1884, eliminating importunate didacticism, arousing the aesthetic sensitivity of the reader and combining authenticity and fantasy, were a revelation in this domain of writing. To the most valuable accomplishments of this kind belongs the poetic story written in prose and verse, O krasnoludkach i sierotce Marysi (1896). O Janku wędrowniczku (1893) and Na jagody (1903) are reissued up to this day.
