One dark winter's day in the north of Finland, Father Mikko seeks shelter in an isolated cabin till a storm abates. After dinner the family sit around the fire, and the daughter asks him to tell them "all the stories he had ever heard from the very beginning of the world all the way down", and so the book begins. In the words of the author "If this little volume may in any degree awake some interest in the Finnish people its author will be amply satisfied, and its end will have been attained." ( Annise) (4 hr 35 min)

A somewhat surreal collection of short episodes from Finnish folklore. Not for me I'm afraid. Several of the stories I could not listened to as the reader read so quickly and incomprehensively.
