Ilmar Talven Suomalainen kansankulttuuri, alansa vankka perusteos on nyt englanniksi. Teos on käsikirja opiskelijoille ja muillekin suomalaisuudesta kiinnostuneille.

This is the first comprehensive account in English of Finland's material folk culture, habits and folklore. It contains a wealth of photographs and maps and provides a good insight into Finnish folk culture against the general cultural trends in Europe. The subject is made all the more interesting by the fact that Finland has for centuries been a melting pot for cultural influences from both East and West.
Finnish Folk Culture is a handbook both for students and for anyone interested in folk tradition and its history. It contains an index and a biography of works in English and German.
