The narratives of ’Capek Fairy Tales’ include: ’A Long Tale about a Cat’, ’The Dogs’ Tale’, ’The Birds’ Tale’, ’The First Bandits’ Tale’, ’The Water Sprites’ Tale’, ’The Long Police Tale’, and many more.Karel Capek (1890 - 1938) was a Czech writer, best known for his science fiction, including his novel War with the Newts and the play, R. U. R, which introduced the word, ’robot’. He maintained a close relationship with his brother Josef (1887 - 1945), and the two lived and worked together for most of their adult life.
