The Dedalus Book of Finnish Fantasy

Author: Johanna Sinisalo

Translator: David Hackston   Cover design: Marie Lane   Cover illustration: Hugo Simberg  

The latest volume in the Dedalus European fantasy series, this anthology of short stories includes a wide range of texts covering the period from nineteenth century until today. The richness and diversity of the stories reflects the long tradition of fantasy in Finnish literature, ranging from the classics to experimental literature, from satire to horror.

This is the first collection of Finnish short stories of its kind and almost all have been translated into English for the first time. It includes work by the leading Finnish authors Aino Kallas, Mika Waltari, Arto Paasilinna, Bo Carpelan, Pentti Holappa, and Leena Krohn as well as contributions by the rising stars of Finnish fiction.
