520			_a"Finnish Legends for English Children" by R. Eivind is a collection of children's stories written in the late 19th century. The work seeks to introduce English-speaking children to Finnish folklore, primarily derived from the epic group of tales known as the Kalevala. Through engaging narratives, it follows characters such as Wainamoinen, a wise magician, and his adventures filled with magic, creation myths, and encounters with other notable figures from Finnish legends. At the start of the collection, we are introduced to Father Mikko, an old traveling merchant who recounts stories of Finland to a family he visits during a snowstorm. They express their desire to hear tales from the beginning of the world. Father Mikko's stories unveil the legendary narratives of Wainamoinen's creation of the world and the subsequent events that affect both mortals and mystical beings. The tales include Wainamoinen's birth from Ilmatar, his struggles with the Hisi-reindeer, and the transformative power of magic, setting the stage for deeper explorations into Finnish mythology throughout the rest of the book.
