The aim of this article is to examine the publishing reception of Polish children’s and young adult literature translated and published in Yugoslavia between 1945 and 1990. Through this analysis, it establishes a publishing chronology and estimates the scale and nature of translation production across specific periods and individual Yugoslav republics. Furthermore, the study also identifies which Polish authors and titles were particularly attractive to Yugoslav publishers and how the structure of the local publishing market and the post-World War II model of children’s and young adult literature influenced the selection of Polish books published in Yugoslavia.
