About the author
Born in Mikkeli on July 7, 1822, and dying in Jyväskylä on March 9, 1872, Klas Corander is identified in Finnish reference sources as Claes Fredrik Corander. He is described as a Finnish teacher and editor, and he also wrote under several pen names, including Lavus Corander, Lavus, and Savon Lassi.
Library and catalog records connect him with a number of works, and Project Gutenberg lists books by Corander, including educational and geography-related writing. That combination of teaching, editing, and practical nonfiction suggests a writer interested in informing ordinary readers as much as entertaining them.
Because readily available page images did not show a clear portrait of him, no reliable author photo could be confirmed here.
