Larin-Kyösti 1873-1948 creator text utu 2025 monographic fi 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Tarutarha by Larin-Kyösti" is a collection of children’s poems written in the early 20th century. The book blends fairy-tale fantasy, Finnish folklore, and everyday rural life, offering lullabies, play-songs, letters in verse, seasonal pieces, and moral fables for young readers. Across short, melodic poems, a small girl resists a witch’s lure and runs home, a boy and his loyal dog brave make-believe dangers, and lively portraits of children—Irja, Liisa, Niilo, and Anni—show games, chores, letters to parents, and earnest prayers. House and sauna spirits (tonttu) fuss over family order and kind behavior; carols and star-processions bring Christmas awe; a street musician’s song hints at loneliness and hope; and a closing fable pits a sly raven against a wary dove to warn against flattery and deceit. Nature, home, and imagination weave through the pieces, gently guiding children toward courage, kindness, and the comfort of family. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
