Roman Zavadovych (1903 - 1985), writing under the pseudonyms Roman zi Slavnoi, Fortissimo, R. Rolianyk, and M. Mamorsky, was a writer, poet, and arguably, one of the best known Ukrainian emigre children's authors. His literary career began in the 1920s with contributions of fairy tales, poems, and youth plays to various magazines. After spending time in a DP camp in Germany, Zavadovych emigrated to the US and settled in Chicago. He co-founded the Association for Ukrainian Writers for Children and Youth (OPDL), together with Iurii Tyshchenko, worked as a co-editor of "Veselka" magazine, and wrote, altogether during his life, over 30 children's books, many of which would be reprinted and issued in several editions. Very good .
