We can know a lot about farmers' children in 19 century in Russia from the poems of great russian writer N.A.Nekrasov. Their life was very hard. Children got up early in the morning and helped their parents in their hard work: fed the animals, worked in the field, colllected mushrooms and berries in the forest. I.S.Turgenev wrote about their free time interests, favourite games and activities. He brightly described how children liked to sit near the fire in the evening telling each other horror stories about ghosts and goblns after a hard work.
