Here are 30 illustrations I made for the book 'Croatia in 30 Stories' by Božo Skoko and Zvonimir Frka-Petešić.
The book presents Croatian peculiarities, contributions to the world, and way of life in an entertaining manner. It is intended for those who are interested in learning more about Croatia but prefer a lighter and more enjoyable read over a serious scientific book or a tourist guide.
