About the author
Born as Rauha Anna Palmlöf in Hämeenkyrö in 1884, she was a Finnish teacher and writer who published under the name Annikki Virvatuli. Finnish biographical sources describe her as a primary school teacher who spent her childhood in Jämsänkoski and later worked as a teacher in different parts of Finland.
She is especially associated with fiction for young readers, and her work has remained accessible through later library records and digitized editions. That background as a teacher helps explain the friendly, observant tone often linked with her writing.
I could confirm reliable background details about her life and authorship, but I could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages available here, so no profile photo is included.
