The tale introduces the reader to Old-Polish demonology, presenting long-forgotten creatures like ghosts, the prattler spirit, the rain spirit, and ordinary imps. It says where they used to live, what they did, what they were loved for, and why they inspired people with fear. An interesting contribution to the understanding of Polish tradition, it acts as excellent complement to tales and legends.
