The story centers around a group of children, particularly focusing on two friends, Mieken and Janneken, who navigate themes of friendship, innocence, and mortality as they play near a cemetery. The narrative hints at deeper mysteries surrounding a specific tomb known as the tomb of iron, arousing curiosity about the past and the lives of those entombed there. At the start of the novel, the opening scene depicts Mieken and Janneken innocently playing in a wheat field, making flower crowns and discussing the death of their companion, Lotte. This conversation leads them to the cemetery, where they discover the mysterious tomb of iron garnished with rare flowers. As the setting shifts, we encounter a traveler who embarks on a quest to learn more about this tomb, ultimately connecting with a sculptor who tends to it. The prologue sets a tone of nostalgia and innocence while foreshadowing the intermingling of childhood experiences with themes of love, loss, and the enduring nature of memory.
