The Boribon series is so unprecedented in the history of publishing that it can only be measured with itself – with its own story. The Boribon series indicates that there are a few million parents and children in Hungary (through translations around the world, especially in Japan where in T’he 100 most important titles in Japan book one of her titles is #41 in CASA
magazine.) for whom Boribon is a familiar, first and most favorite reading experience from birth. One should not go without saying besides the truly unprecedented performance of more than 50 years of success of Boribon's books, the continuation of the audience's feedback. The first Boribon book, Boribon, The Teddy Bear, was published in 1958, and neither does it indicate its value and durability more than even in the 2000s when it was relocated, there were only minor changes in the book – in a world that had changed a lot.
Boribon is as much a bear as a man, at least as bad as a kid. Someone who knows a lot, but there's always more to learn. Someone whose noble feelings inadvertently lead to the best paths and the right choices, but who can be embarrassed by the simplest, everyday situations. Boribon, this real fairy-tale "intermediate creature", comes with the self-evident nature of the incarnations of the infinite world of infancy, as well as those who move in the realms of imagination as well as the so-called realities.
What the Boribon Stories proclaim with great force, but even more exemplify, is the basic experience of the diversity of worlds on the one hand, and the unity of these worlds on the other.
The fairy tale, the story takes you back to its original task: to fulfil the need to listen to and understand the other. Veronika Marék tells the story of what we are talking about: to get out of one’s sovereignty and to understand the life, reason, choices with common words and signs, and even a less favourable life situation (like a sad, rainy day) can also create hope (rainbow) just by getting to know the perspective of others. This original story-centred and natural, all-but-all-frill-free narrative in the Boribon tales is the ultimate evergreen, the perfection, the charm, the taste of childhood story for generations.
