Bohumil Říha
Bohumil Říha (22 February 1907 - 15 December 1987) was a Czech author. One of his most noted works is Children's Encyclopaedia (1959) that has since its publication enjoyed almost a cult following – its structure offers, besides information for beginning readers, more detailed information for children who wish to learn more about any of the subjects.
Other works include The River (1962, co-authored by Karel Friedrich), The Great Picture Book for Children (1976), The Great Animal Picture Book (1981; both together with Milena Lukešová), and Merry Tales – And What Else? (1964). For his work he received the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1980. He died in Prague.
