About This Book

A raucous rural family of four—a stout father, a thin mother, and two boisterous boys, Mökö and Luru—drives a sequence of short comic episodes centered on noisy domestic life and ill-fated outings. Their planned trips to town, fishing jaunts, sauna visits, birthdays and treasure hunts repeatedly descend into slapstick mishaps: misplaced trunks, a runaway dog, children in peril and other chaotic incidents that alarm neighbours and servants. The collection presents episodic sketches that mine provincial manners for humor and celebrate family absurdity through farce and physical comedy.
