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?

Quite, Johanna. But my comment wasn't about any faithfulness to the actual spirit of the book. It's just the colour scheme, the horse riding and the simple style of that cover which reminded me of the overall atmosphere of Galen-Kalleva's series about Lemminkäinen, especially the one where he's riding out to battle and blowing his horn. Which, again, I'll grant you doesn't in the least compare to Thomas's actual story.
