Legends of Old Bohemia (Staré pověsti české in Czech) is a book by Alois Jirásek written in 1894. It describes events from Czech history based on folk literature and some historical facts. The model was based on Chronicle of Hájek, Cosmas Chronicle of Bohemia and Chronicle of Dalimil, other old Czech chronicles and many other sources were also used. It includes legends such as Maidens' War, Libuše and Přemysl, Krok's Daughters or Forefather Čech and many others. The book has three parts: Legends of Old Bohemia, Legends of the Christian era and From ancient prophecies. There are many historical and fantasy series being made nowadays and in my opinion it would not be a bad idea to film Legends of Old Bohemia, because it is a very interesting book full of fascinating stories from the Middle Ages, which are part of Czech history.
