series of children's books based on the adventures of Pan Kleks, the headmaster of a magical academy, and his students. Many of the Kleks books and plot points were made into a series of films in the 1980s, while the poem Pchła Szachrajka (Adventures of a Cheating Flea) was developed into an animated film in 1989. Many of Brzechwa's texts have been translated into English by Walter Whipple, but as of 2004 they have yet to be published.
