About

Hero Adventures from Finland

A classic children’s adaptation of the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala. It follows the magical hero Wainamoinen and the smith Ilmarinen as they quest for the Sampo—a mystical, fortune-grinding mill created by a powerful wizard. This wondrous object grants endless wealth, grain, and power to whoever possesses it.  Baldwin wrote this version in accessible prose rather than traditional poetry, weaving ancient Finnish lore into a single, cohesive adventure.

First published in 1912, this edition is derived from the original book with 4 color illustrations by N. C. Wyeth. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.
