A sample from our book:
River Life
Life around the river
The river is the social gathering point, a place of cool comfort. A relaxed place, made for jokes and gossip. At dawn, the men wash before going into the field. Later in the morning, the women bring their washing, soap and hairbrushes. The young girls join in and wash their clothes, too, while bathing. They wash their hair and splash each other. A young boy and his sister cross further downstream with the family horse, leading it to a drink, a wash and preparing it for work with the cattle or their father’s ride to town. Later, in the afternoon, the cattle are brought to the river to cool down and get something to drink.
more stories (in Danish) can be read on Sven Gårn Hansen’s blog. These are hard but very realistic stories.
