This collection of folk tales focuses on humankind's struggle with evil in the world, particularly naughty devils. In Bohemia it seems that the Devil is a rather delightful old fellow, a little slow to be sure, a little ill-natured, but far from the arch fiend of the more western parts of Europe, and a far more agreeable companion for boys and girls. One story relates how a clever soldier captures a trio of mischievous devils in his knapsack. Another is the tale of a journeyman who captures an angry devil in a mill-wheel, turning him round and round in the water. In each of the nine tales, simple peasants outwit devils at every turn, and the stories of the amazing pranks they play on him which will delight readers young and old.
