Juhan Jaik, a writer of stories for children and young people,
was born on 13 January 1899 and died 10 December 1948 in exile in Stockholm.
The best of his stories rely on folk tradition and local history. In them,
in a mild humorous vein peculiar to him, Jaik colourfully describes the
lives of people, both rich and poor, in southern Estonia in the first half
of the 20th century.
The postage stamp reproduces an illustration by Eduard Järv to
Juhan Jaik's story The Bottle Genie.
