Hopeakauha: Satuja ja kertomuksia

A quiet summer evening on the Välijoki finds a lone fisherman hauling his line when a frantic woman in white bursts onto the shore, pleading for escape. He rows her across the rushing current, promising to keep her secret, only to discover a strange silver ladle in his boat that mysteriously fills with fresh milk each morning. The simple act of secrecy turns into a puzzling miracle, and when the ladle finally loses its magic, the fisherman is left to confront the fragile line between wonder and everyday life.

Beyond this opening tale, the collection gathers dozens of folk‑flavored stories that echo the rhythms of Finnish countryside—children’s games by the creek, whispered prayers to a mother’s eyes, and shy encounters with hidden spirits. Each vignette captures ordinary moments tinged with the uncanny, inviting listeners to linger on the quiet enchantments that linger in ordinary places. The tone is gentle yet uncanny, perfect for anyone who enjoys a modest slice of folklore told with warmth and humility.
