After sharing a warm meal, the family gathers around the flickering fire, and the daughter eagerly implores him to recount all the stories he had ever heard from the very beginning of the world. Thus begins a captivating journey through time and folklore. As the author himself expresses, If this little volume can spark even a flicker of interest in the Finnish people, I will consider my purpose fulfilled. (Annise)
