Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the oeuvre of Milica Miron, a neglected author of Slovenian origin from Sarajevo. We pay attention to details from her biography, shedding light on some aspects of her life and creative path. Central to this analysis are her pieces of children’s literature – poetry, fiction, riddles, and plays in particular. Also, she showed great interest in folklore, which she incorporated in her plays. Therefore, two of her plays are analysed in detail, with a view to understanding to what extent she remodeled original fairy tales and motifs she found in both national and international folk tradition.
