Some Opinions On Foglar's Novels
Karel Sýs wrote about him on the back-cover of his book Chata v Jezerní kotlině: "I think, that both meaning and effect of his work lies in moral purity based upon author's experience. Foglar raises reliance of children and young people. On pages of his novels there are happening miracles of friendship, nature is painted in its virgin purity, city streets are surrounded by secrets -- and it's possible to believe it all because it was imagined by a pure heart."
'Excellent books on male friendship, nature, ethically pure life and firm values of resistance towards the injustice, of solidarity and trust.' David Stein
While they may be considered ideological, his stories are not mere fables, but are based upon his long-term work with boys and young men on summer camps and in club-rooms.
