Warsaw has become the content and purpose of Stanislaw Godlewski's works. This work is characterized by great literary culture, beautiful and pure language and great artistic feeling for the subject. A particularly valuable item is the volume entitled Warsaw. When the first edition was published in 1931, it aroused the admiration of both readers and literary critics and earned the name of a beautiful literary phenomenon.
Stefan Godlewski brings old Warsaw legends and tales out of oblivion. In his stories, full of fantasy and extraordinary charm, he introduces us to the times of Sigismund III, King Stas, to his court, to Lazienki Park, and finally to fin-de-siècle Warsaw.
The charm of this booklet has not disappeared. Now published with beautiful illustrations by Stanislaw Noakowski, specially done for it, it will be a valuable item, especially for collectors of varsaviana. -Czeslaw Olszewski
