One's hometown is an important part of a person's identity, deeply woven into one's heart and because of this, it is an inseparable part of one's personality that is expressed through art as well as through literature. Literature is a tool used to shape thoughts, as well as a person, and that is why it is an inevitable part of one's upbringing, be it through bedtime stories or school book reports. Native literature reminds us of smells, smiles, tears, places and events that we associate with home, the warm environment where we grew up or at least temporarily stayed at. Writers of native literature wish to convey to the reader the uniqueness of their hometown, and the uniqueness of Ogulin is visible not only from its geographical features, but also from the abundant history that enriches the town. One of the peculiarities of Ogulin is that it itself is the inspiration for the creation of fantastic narrative types such as legends, traditions and fairy tales. Legends that want to convey a moral message, oral traditions that place the origin of a phenomena and things into a theme, historical events, the supernatural in different forms and fairy tales, all make everyone want to return to their childhood through wonderful stories that tease the imagination. Regarding fairy tales, it would be impossible not to mention the national treasure left to us by the world-famous author Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić, who in her autobiography emphasizes how much her hometown of Ogulin was an inspiration for her fairy tales.
