Finnish writer and artist Tove Jansson is known to everyone as the creator of the Moomins - kind and sweet creatures, direct descendants of the not at all cute giant trolls from Scandinavian legends and legends.
In this book we present to you the fabulous stories of the country of Suomi, in which Tove Jansson, Sakarias Topelius and other Finnish writers grew up. In them we are transported to a wonderful magical Universe, in which there are good and evil spirits, gnomes and elves, trolls and mermaids, brownies and water ones, where magic is a reality, and cunning animals often defeat simple-minded people. For the first time, thirty-five Finnish fairy tales from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were collected into a single anthology in magnificent translations and retellings by M. D. Granstrem, M. P. Blagoveshchenskaya, L. Ya. Krukovskaya, V. N. Smirnov, E. A. Granstrem, A. A. Aarne and other writers will open for you the enchanting and unique world of Finnish folklore. And the rare illustrations created by the classics of Finnish, European and Russian book graphics will make this publication truly unique.
