The village of Boyberik, where the stories are set, is based on Boyarka , now in Ukraine . The story was adapted for stage and film several times, including several Yiddish-language musicals.

In the first short story, there is also a mention of a seventh daughter; in Fiddler, however, there are only five daughters, of whom only three have major roles.
