Features: In the 1940s of this century, the renowned Finnish writer Raul Roinne collected the finest ancient legends of Finland and created a large, brilliant "Finnish Folk Tales." Finnish folk tales are extremely rich, enthusiastically praising truth, goodness, and beauty while skillfully critiquing falsehood, evil, and ugliness. Their narratives are concise, their language simple, and the characters are vividly portrayed. Personified animals are depicted with remarkable detail, making them deeply loved by Finnish children and welcomed by children worldwide. Finnish folk tales are still relatively unknown in China. Therefore, the introduction and publication of this Chinese translation of "Finnish Folk Tales" by Du Zhongying, the former Chinese Ambassador to Finland, who meticulously translated it, have contributed to enhancing mutual understanding and cultural exchange between the people of China and Finland. It is also a gift from the Finnish people and Beijing Publishing House to the in China.
