About the author
Born on July 4, 1857, in Nakkila, Gustaf Nestor Tanner was a Finnish author. Some library and reference records also list him under an earlier surname, Mäntylä.
Tanner is remembered as a writer in Finnish literature, and his works have been preserved in major public collections, including Project Gutenberg and Finnish library records. That continued availability has helped keep his writing visible for modern readers interested in older Finnish fiction and drama.
Reliable biographical detail available online is fairly limited, so it is best to describe him simply as a Finnish author born in 1857 whose surviving works connect readers with the language, settings, and literary culture of his time.
