ellenkushner: (Thomas the Rhymer)
[personal profile] ellenkushner
The book's not out yet, but my Finnish publisher, Vaskikirjat has just posted their cover for Thomas the Rhymer . It couldn't be more different from Tom Canty's or Kinuko Craft's (or any of the other that's we're working on putting up for my website) . . . but to me it really has that Kalevala flavor, all folky wildness. You?

Riiminiekka is also a very old Finnish word - not something that's usually heard in "every day" language nowadays. So that also adds to the old look of the cover. I like it, very much!

That is very good to hear!

I have, of course, the world's greatest translator, Johanna Vainikainen-Uusitalo...
