Excerpt from Finland: The Land of a Thousand LakesI have quoted largely from the national epic the Kate vata, used illustrations by Finnish artists and extracts from Finnish authors, all with the idea of putting the reader in as close a touch as possible with the atmosphere of a singularly interesting country.I am much indebted to the publishers of Finland in the Nineteenth Century for permission to make whatever use I pleased of that valuable but generally inaccessible volume.The quotations from the K elevate are, unless otherwise indicated, from Mr. Kirby's translation, published in Dent's Everyman Library, and are here reproduced by the courtesy and kindness of the author and publishers.For some of the facts in the account of a Finnish wedding I am indebted to the proprietors of The Wide World Magazine, who allowed me to make use of them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
