Based on Finnish oral tradition, The Kanteletar (roughly "zither-daughter", a kind of muse) is a selection from a treasury of nearly seven hundred lyrics and<br>ballads that celebrate the everyday life of a rural society at work and play. The ballads range from a beautiful sequence of legends about the Virgin Mary, through the grim tales of Elina, to a hilarious account of a dragon that refuses to devour its victims. 390279 2 4 1992 The Kanteletar: Lyrics and Ballads after the Oral Tradition by Elias Lonnrot (Oxford World's Classics) total:5|5:2|4:1|3:1|2:1| 5 19 6 2 400863 0192828622 9780192828620 5 2 The Kanteletar: Lyrics and Ballads after the Oral Tradition (Oxford World's Classics) 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174443220m/400863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/400863.The_Kanteletar_Lyrics_and_Ballads_after_the_Oral_Tradition 5 0 false Thu Oct 15 14:58:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 08:01:34 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 14:58:00 -0700 2009
