Summary/Abstract: In the chapter Konstanty a proměny pohádek Aloise Mikulky [Constants and transformations of fairy tales by Alois Mikulka] Jitka Zítková analyzes the development of the author’s fictitious world into which he places his fairy tale texts oscillating between funny poetics and absurd situational grotesqueness. In selected sets of short texts representing individual periods of Mikulka’s literary output are recorded transformations of one of his traditional constants – the figure of a hag.
