Tuula Temonen "Folkhumor : Skämtsagor och historier från olika länder för ung och gammal" by Grip is a collection of humorous folktales written in the early 20th century. It gathers comic, trickster-rich stories from various countries for readers young and old, spotlighting quick-witted underdogs who outsmart bullies, trolls, and pompous authority. Themes include the ridicule of folly, greed, and pretension, with clean retellings meant for family reading. Expect nimble heroes, playful contests, and sharp, good-natured satire. The opening of the collection begins with a preface praising folk humor’s age-old appeal and noting that coarse elements have been removed, then launches into lively tales. First, a resourceful gypsy lad, Kuno, learns in heaven where his troll-abducted father is held, frees him, and also rescues a princess by outwitting trolls in a string of contests, earning marriage and a crown. Next, in a Danish skit, a gullible couple try to make a talking-calf heir; a crafty bell-ringer pockets their money and meat, and the couple later mistake a random merchant, “Stuut,” for their grown “calf” and endow him. A German tale follows: a prince raised by a wildman wins a princess by herding a hundred hares with a magic pipe and, when ordered to “talk a sack full,” fills it by recounting how he made the royal family kiss a donkey’s tail and turn somersaults. Then come Tumpel’s episodes (from Russia), where a lovable fool mangles phrases, misdiagnoses by “deduction,” loses a cow to a prank, and is fleeced by a wily soldier. Finally, in “Prosit!” a herdsman who refuses to bless a king’s sneeze survives beasts and a death-pit, spurns bribes, and secures the princess; the scene cuts off just as the wedding feast prompts another royal sneeze.
