Description

A gentle cascade of Finnish forest folk tales opens with the shy little hare Jussi, cast out by his mother and left to wander the fields alone. When he stumbles upon a compassionate calf among a grazing herd, the calf offers him a whispered promise of a safe spot—a “pihajänis”—where a rabbit can live without traps or hounds. Together they tread through golden meadows, cross a murmuring brook and discover a snug nook beneath a thorny hedge, perfect for a new nest.

The collection continues with whimsical episodes of talking dogs, clever cats, and mischievous squirrels, each story echoing the rhythm of rural life and the quiet magic of the woods. Friendly creatures share counsel, courage is found in unexpected places, and the simple joys of seasonal celebrations shine through. Listeners will be drawn into a world where kindness guides the lost, and every rustle of leaves hints at another charming adventure waiting just beyond the next thicket.
