R. Eivind’s Finnish Legends for English Children adapts stories from the Kalevala — the great Finnish national epic compiled by Elias Lönnrot from oral tradition — along with other tales from Finnish folklore, for a young English-speaking audience. The legendary figures of Väinämöinen, Ilmarinen, and the sorceress Louhi come to life in tales full of magic, music, and the stark beauty of the Finnish north.
An accessible introduction to a mythological tradition that deserves to be better known outside Scandinavia. This free EPUB is cleanly formatted for any device.
