About the author
Born on December 10, 1842, in Petäjävesi and later dying on May 4, 1916, in Keuruu, Kaarle (or Kaarlo) Karikko was a Finnish author remembered for writing under the pseudonym Kario.
His work appears to have centered on Finnish-language fiction, including novellas, historical storytelling, and drama. Public-domain records and library listings confirm titles such as Väsyneen haudalla, Urhot, and Lakiasia, which suggests a writer interested in both everyday life and larger historical themes.
Karikko is not among the best-known names in Finnish literature today, but his books remain traceable through library and digitization projects, which has helped preserve his place in Finland’s literary history.
