The Kalevala (The Land of the Heroes) is the national saga of Finland. Pieced together (and embellished) by Elias Lönnrot in the late 19th Century, from a traditional cycle told by rural storytellers, the tales which constitute the Kalevala show signs of great antiquity.
Our hardback edition was published by The Athlone Press in 1985. This is a reprint of the 1907 Everyman’s Library edition, which was translated into English by W F Kirby and M A Branch. This book is in excellent condition and has an immaculate dust jacket.
