Rychlé šípy

Rychlé šípy ("The Rapid Arrows") is the name of a fictional club of five boys by the Czech writer Jaroslav Foglar.

Consisting of Mirek Dušín, Jarka Metelka, Jindra Hojer, Červenáček ("Red Cap"), Rychlonožka ("Speedy") and a dog named Bublina ("Bubble").

[1] Rychlé šípy is a well-known and critically-acclaimed series, though its popularity lies mainly with older generations.

The name Mirek Dušín is used by older czechs as a humorous nickname for someone who is notably honest and hard-working.

[3] Rychlé šípy was originally a comic series issued from 1938 to 1989, with stand-stills enforced by the Communist regime of Czechoslovakia.

Rychlé šípy are the main characters of the book trilogy called Adventures in the Dark Alleys.

Well-known props from the movie are the mysterious puzzle Hedgehog in the Cage, Tleskač's flying bike and the dark alleys of Stínadla.

It is said on the pages of the books that some of the narrow streets and passages are not even on the maps of the Stínadla quarter,[5] which makes it difficult for visitors (or intruders) from other parts of the town to find their way around there.
