The folklore of Finland is somewhat unexplored, but it is bursting with life and wonder. These stories of heroes, the natural world, kinship and myth have been retold and preserved though time. This collection brings together these traditional tales with the national epic of poetry, the Kalevala, offering a window into the rich tapestry that makes up the lore of Finland.


The Flame Tree Gothic Fantasy, Classic Stories and Epic Tales collections bring together the entire range of myth, folklore and modern short fiction. Highlighting the roots of suspense, supernatural, science fiction and mystery stories the books in Flame Tree Collections series are beautifully presented, perfect as a gift and offer a lifetime of reading pleasure.
