How did children live more than 100 years ago? What did they want, what were they afraid of and what were they happy about? Did they go to school, did they have time to play and what did they play? Historians who study life in the past are constantly pondering these questions. As they can no longer ask the children, they have to search for their traces in history like the master detective Kalle Blomquist. You can help with this search for clues. We will follow the adventurous life of the maid Sophia L. and collect "pieces of evidence" from her life. And we will try to decipher her life story, which she wrote down herself. Because in the past, people wrote in a script that looks like a cipher. We will also see how other boys and girls fared in comparison to Sophia.
