Summary "Ett pennskaft som piga" by Anton Holtz is a fictional work likely written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a response to a previous piece titled "En piga bland pigor," wherein a journalist depicted the life on a farm from a domestic servant's perspective. The narrative centers around the author's self-defense against the journalist's accusations, while portraying the contrast between his life as a farmer and the misconceptions propagated by the servant's writings. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage for his retort by discussing the initial articles published by the journalist, who had taken on the disguise of a maid to gain insights into farm life. The author details his feelings of indignation and insult over the journalist's portrayal of him and his household. As he introduces the new maid, Malin, who joins his household, he depicts her naivety and lack of practical skills, contrasting her with the hardworking and knowledgeable farm staff. This initial setup not only defines the central conflict but also hints at comedic situations stemming from Malin's incompetence, laying the groundwork for humorous explorations of farm life and the dynamics between social classes.
