About the author

Veikko Matias Korhonen (12 June 1888 – 17 January 1942) was a Finnish journalist and author associated with Rautalampi. Available catalog and reference records identify him as both a writer and a journalist, and they show that he published books in Finnish during the 1920s and later.

The surviving records suggest a versatile body of work. Titles linked to him include Suomen historiallisia kertomuksia. 2, Uskonpuhdistuksesta Uudenkaupungin rauhaan, Pihamaa ja takalisto: Eläinsatuja, Poikien kirja, and Ratkaiseva askel, pointing to an author who moved between historical writing, animal stories, and fiction or reading for younger audiences.

He also appears in later biographical references through his family: Olympic cross-country skier and writer Urpo Korhonen is identified as his son. A suitable confirmed portrait image was not available from the Wikipedia page found for him.
