the nature and wildlife
of Finnish Lapland, one

of Lapland, including
the wildlife-rich region
of Kuusamo, just

official border. It`s a
superb region for
birdwatching, for long
trips on foot or ski and
for watching the northern
lights.As any Crossbill
Guide, this title on
Finnish Lapland gives 22
detailed route
descriptions and 23 site
descriptions covering the
best sites for
birdwatching, finding
wildflowers, watching
bears and other large
mammals and experiencing
the wilderness. This
information comes with
extensive descriptions of

history and flora and
fauna of Finnish Lapland.

An Armchair Traveller`s
History Of Finland

In the American mind,
Finland is often swept up
in the general group of
Nordic countries, little
known and seldom gaining
prominence on its own.
But as Jonathan Clements
shows in ”An Armchair
Traveller`s History of
Finland, ” it has a
long and fascinating
history, one that offers
oddities and excitements
galore: from prehistoric
herders to medieval
lords, Christian martyrs
and Viking kings, and
the war heroes who held
off the Soviet Union
against long odds.
Clements travels the
length of the country as
he tells these stories,
along the way offering
accounts of Finland`s
public artworks,
literary giants, legends
and folktales, and
famous figures. The
result is the perfect
introduction to Finland
for armchair and actual
travelers alike.

Sculptor`s Daughter: A
Childhood Memoir

Tove Jansson`s first book
for adults drew on her
childhood memories to
capture afresh the
enchantments and fears of
growing up in Helsinki in
the nineteen tens and
twenties. Described as
both a memoir and `a book
of superb stories` by Ali
Smith, her startlingly
evocative prose offers a
glimpse of the mysteries
of winter ice, the
bonhomie of balalaika
parties, and the
vastness of Christmas
viewed from beneath the
tree. With rare images
from the Jansson family
archive, it makes a
perfect gift.
