Playing with the Convention of Fairy Tales and Children’s Literature: Tadeusz Konwicki’s The Anthropos-Spectre-Beast. The article analyses how the author exploits mockery on the convention of fairy tales and children’s literature in the narrative thread set in the Green Valley.

Other elements of Polish Borderland folklore are strewn everywhere in the Valley. All fairy-tale elements are shown in a slanted or degraded form. The blend of fantasy and Borderland scenery places this territory on the same ontological level as the marvellous.
