The Magic Storysinger: From the Finnish Epic Kalevala

The marvelous, fast and furious adventures of the great mythic hero Vaino (Vainamoinen) are delightfully retold here. From his mysterious birth as the old-man son of the air maiden to his wooing of the daughter of Louhi the witch, great feats are accomplished and great feuds settled by means of magic songs and spells. Humor, adventure and magic abound in this classic tale with a lyrical simplicity that casts its own spell.
