Mighty Mikko

Despite being a sparsely populated land, thick with pine forests and bejeweled with sparking lakes, the multicultural Scandinavian country of Finland is famous for its robust body of folklore. ?Mighty Mikko: a Book of Finnish Fairy Tales and Folk Tales,? embodies some the purest expression of Finnic myths and beliefs. This charming book is a collection of fairy tales fashioned after the stories of The Kalevala, a 19th century work of epic poetry compiled from Finnish and Karelian oral folklore and mythology. With its cycle of little animal stories and tales about ancient Finnish witches, this artfully illustrated edition of ?Mighty Mikko? will whisk your imagination away to the frozen glaciers and clear blue fjords of the olden days in Finland.
