CHILDREN’S GAMES IN SOMOGY COUNTY
CHILDREN’S GAMES IN SOMOGY COUNTY

Summary/Abstract: While the first collection of children’s games in Hungary is associated with the name of Áron KISS, the first monograph on games of Somogy County was undoubtedly written by Ferenc GÖNCZI. Although GÖNCZI’s book did not appear until after his death, in 1949 under the title of Somogyi gyermekjátékok [Children’s games from Somogy], the material he had collected and worked up had been ready for printing since 1937. If the work had appeared at that time it would almost certainly have been the pioneer among the county monographs, preceding even the important works on the subject by Árpád LAJOS and Mária KRESZ.
