Description
The home elves were part of the lives of our ancestors for generations. In addition to the house and sauna elves that are familiar to everyone, the courtyard also was full of supernatural creatures. Haavio’s research on the Finnish elf belief and its various forms opens the door to the world of people of the past.
This classic book about Finnish folk religion, elves and storytelling first appeared in 1942. The new afterwords of this new edition have been written by Kaarina Koski, PhD in folklore studies.
Martti Haavio (1899-1973) was a researcher of folk poetry and mythology.
