Suomen kansan satuja ja tarinoita

Eero Salmelainen's collection, published in four parts between 1852 and 1866, was the first large gathering of Finnish folk tales. Smith Ilmarinen goes wooing, youngest sons win princesses, the fox outwits the bear and the wolf, and the devil is cheated again and again, with the editor's prefaces and, at the end, his notes on the tales.
