The collection presents a series of nostalgic, first-person recollections of a boy growing up in a forest farming community, rendered as short anecdotes and scenes. It depicts daily rural life, close family relations, seasonal customs, and encounters with neighbors and local tradesfolk, mixing humor with gentle moral reflection. Nature and landscape are prominent, described as shaping memory and imagination. The pieces vary in tone from playful mischief to solemn moments of loss or reverence, offering compact sketches that together form a portrait of provincial childhood and its values.
