About the author
Emanuel Tamminen (1852–1946), often published as Em. Tamminen, was a Finnish schoolteacher, writer, and translator. Sources also note that he used the pen names E. T. and Manu.
He was born on August 15, 1852, in Uusikirkko, Finland Proper, and died on March 8, 1946, in Kymi. Catalog and reference sources connect him with a wide range of writing, including original works and translations, and Project Gutenberg listings show that his books reached readers in areas such as verse and short prose.
Tamminen appears to have written for ordinary readers rather than a narrow literary circle. The surviving record suggests a practical and civic-minded author whose work sat comfortably alongside education, translation, and reform-minded publishing, especially in connection with temperance themes.
