Without ever getting sentimental, Božena Němcová portrays not only the national customs and traditions of Bohemia and old Austria, but also the people who, in her childhood, defined life in the wooded valley of Úpa - the teachers, the midservants, the farmhands, the millers and the foresters, to name few.
