Josip Vandot (15 January 1884 – 11 July 1944) was a Slovene writer and poet who wrote mainly for young readers.
Biography
Vandot was born in Kranjska Gora in Upper Carniola, then part of Austria-Hungary, now in Slovenia. Under the interwar Kingdom of Yugoslavia, he was employed as a railway official in Maribor. In 1941, after the area was annexed by Germany, Vandot was deported to Croatia. He was killed in the Allied bombing of Slavonski Brod in 1944.[1] A street is now named for him in Kranjska Gora.
Work
Vandot is best known for the creation of the character Kekec, a brave and clever shepherd boy from the highlands of his home region, the Karawanks and Julian Alps. He wrote three books with Kekec as the main character:
- Script error: No such module "Lang". (Kekec on the Hard Path, 1918)
- Script error: No such module "Lang". (Kekec on the Wolf Trail, 1922)
- Script error: No such module "Lang". (Kekec Above the Lonely Abyss, 1924)
The Kekec books were adapted into three films about the character, although only the first was a direct adaptation of the first book:
- Script error: No such module "Lang". (1951)[2]
- Script error: No such module "Lang". (1963)[3] (Good Luck, Kekec) – the first Slovene colour film
- Script error: No such module "Lang". (1968)[4] (Kekec's Wiles)
