Summary/Abstract: The authors talk with Anna Fenby Taylor, granddaughter of Zofia Kossak-Szatkowska, the Polish writer. Anna Fenby Taylor is one of the initiators of the Zofia Kossak Foundation in Górki Wielkie. She was born and raised in Britain, where she graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, University of London. However, for several years she has been a more frequent visitor to Górki Wielkie (Cieszyn Silesia region) rather than to her English home. Her strong will to save the legacy of her grandparents, the life and work of Zofia Kossak, the desire to rebuild from ruins the Kossaks’ eighteenth-century mansion made her decide along with her husband to renovate and hand it over to cultural and tourist needs. Anna Fenby Taylor tells about the history of the place and the stages which had led to the creation of the Culture and Art Center “Dwór Kossaków” (The Kossak Mansion) in this place.
