About This Book

A collection of short Finnish fairy tales that pairs courtly figures with common folk and mythical beings. The episodic stories mix wonder and everyday detail while conveying moral lessons: a princess who gives away her shimmering veil to the needy, children and humble heroes who rescue or aid royalty, quests that reveal vast treasure, sibling adventures, the devoted service of an armor-bearer, and a tale of a great calamity threatening heaven and earth. Themes of generosity, courage, and resourcefulness run throughout.
