In this episode, you will hear London-based storyteller Sarah Liisa Wilkinson retell two stories from the the Kalevala,  a 19th-century work of epic poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot from Karelian and Finnish oral folklore and mythology. From frozen wilderness to the very land of the dead itself, these stories focus on a feisty girl named Aino and the loving and courageous mother of the feckless Lemminkäinen.
