“Compiled by Elias Lonnrot, The Kalevala, the national epic of Finland was first published in 1849. The Kalevala abounds with ancient Finnish myths; it exudes a shamanistic world view and reflects a love of adventure. The Kalevala is rich in traditions, charms and ‘deep origins.’ It is rightfully considered one of the world’s great epics.”
