Some Opinions On Foglar's Novels
Karel Sýs wrote about him on the back-cover of his book Chata v Jezerní kotlině: "I think, that both meaning and effect of his work lies in moral purity based upon author's experience. Foglar raises reliance of children and young people. On pages of his novels there are happening miracles of friendship, nature is painted in its virgin purity, city streets are surrounded by secrets -- and it's possible to believe it all because it was imagined by a pure heart."
'Excellent books on male friendship, nature, ethically pure life and firm values of resistance towards the injustice, of solidarity and trust.' David Stein
While they may be considered ideological, his stories are not mere fables, but are based upon his long-term work with boys and young men on summer camps and in club-rooms.

Famous quotes containing the words opinions and/or novels:
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of natures God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (17431826)
“But then in novels the most indifferent hero comes out right at last. Some god comes out of a theatrical cloud and leaves the poor devil ten thousand-a-year and a title.”
—Anthony Trollope (18151882)
