About the author
Anni Emilia Kepplerus was a Finnish teacher and writer, born in Kuopio on August 17, 1849, and died in Helsinki on June 27, 1899. The sources available describe her as both an educator and an author.
She lived in Kuopio until 1890 and later in Joensuu from 1893. Her best-known work is Hovin Inkeri, first published by Otava in 1897, a historical narrative connected to North Karelia.
Very little biographical material seems to be widely available online beyond these basic facts, but even that brief record suggests a writer closely tied to Finnish regional history and culture.
