The Book of Finnish Elves

This classic picture book by Mauri Kunnas sets out to describe all the kinds of elves that, according to Finnish tradition, lived hidden in human households. Each type of building had its own sort of elf. There were house elves, sauna elves, stable elves, storehouse elves, barn elves and mill elves. When treated with respect, they brought good fortune, but if they took offence, there was no predicting the consequences!

The Book of Finnish Elves is a delightful collection of short, illustrated stories, each telling about the jobs, personality, and adventures of a certain type of elf. Suitable for reading to children in short sessions, these stories often include a gentle lesson in kindness and cooperation. This fortieth anniversary edition features a handsome gold cover and nearly twice as many illustrations as the original!
