Summary/Abstract: The Krakow writer Antonina Domańska (1853–1917) occupies a permanent place in the Polish cultural tradition as an author of literary works for children and youth, mainly historical novels. Her best known books are "Paziowie króla Zygmunta" (1910) and "Historia żółtej ciżemki" (1913). These novels were adapted, the first as Sylwester Chęciński’s film (1961) and the second as television series of Grzegorz Warchoł (1989). Polish theaters also staged modifications to the "Historia żółtej ciżemki". The subject of the article is the image of Krakow in these novels as a key element of Domańska’s historical and patriotic education. The second research issue is the film, television and theatre reception of the writer’s two works.
