Summary/Abstract: The experimental Czech fairy tale includes some books by the artist, theatre author, musician and writer, Petr Nikl. Despite the fact that in the recent years the literary quality of his texts has not increased he still remains an important figure in the area of the modern original fairy tale. Similarly, the fairy tales by the painter, graphic, conceptual artist and writer, František Skála, are aimed at readers and fans of his multi-media works as a whole. In comparison with Nikl he fascinates readers with his ability to find and emphasize aesthetic qualities in ordinary and banal connections, stories and artifacts while originally dealing with the natural environment at the formal (artistic) as well as the story-telling (literary) level. Both the writers are dealt with by Martin Reissner in the chapter Autorské pohádkové knihy Petra Nikla a Františka Skály [Original fairy talebooks by Petr Nikl and František Skála].
