(Parker Hoysted) Van Everen, Jay 1875 1947 Everen, Jay Van 22020322 Mighty Mikko: A Book of Finnish Fairy Tales and Folk Tales Suzanne Shell, Wendy J., Sam W. and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Mighty Mikko: A Book of Finnish Fairy Tales and Folk Tales" by Parker Fillmore is a collection of enchanting stories drawn from Finnish folklore, likely written in the early 20th century. This compilation presents tales of adventure, magic, and morality, incorporating familiar archetypes and narrative styles that appeal to both children and adults. The tales revolve around characters such as the thoughtful woodsman Mikko, who finds himself on a journey filled with trials, as well as charming animal companions that contribute to his adventures. The opening of "Mighty Mikko" introduces the reader to the tale "The True Bride," which follows two orphans, Osmo and his sister Ilona, who are deeply connected to their ancestral home. Osmo seeks to find a better life for his sister and ultimately meets the King's Son, who wishes to marry Ilona. However, Ilona hesitates to leave behind the family home until significant items that connect her to their past are removed. The story then takes a darker turn when they encounter a mysterious woman, Suyettar, who places them under her spell, leading Ilona into a series of perilous adventures beneath the surface of the sea. This sets the stage for a blend of enchantment and challenge that is characteristic of the collection.
