Excerpt from Mighty Mikko: A Book of Finnish Fairy Tales and Folk TalesThe stories as I Offer them are not translations but my own versions. Literal translations from the Finnish would make small appeal to the general reader. To English ears the Finnish is stiff, bald, and monotonous. One has only to read or attempt to read Kirby's excel lent translation of the Kalevala to realize the truth of this statement. SO I make no apology for retelling these tales in a manner more likely to prove entertain ing to the English reader, whether child or adult.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
