Jalmari Finne 1 hr 14 min read

The uproarious Kiljunen family blunders into a fairy-tale land, where their boisterous antics collide hilariously with the world of enchantment.

Jalmari Finne's 1918 Finnish children's book sends his beloved, chaos-making Kiljunen family into a storybook realm. Boisterous, funny, cherished juvenile fantasy. Read it for a rollicking Finnish classic in which a rowdy family turns fairyland delightfully upside down.
