Thanks for the feedback, I'll surely appreciate it.
Writing the English versions has been an intriguing task, since my native language is Finnish. The original versions are in trochee format (Kalevala-meter) that does not translate well into English, especially not by a non-native speaker.
The stories themselves contain short poems, that have been translated in the same fashion as this. Translation is actually a bit wrong term, they have been re-written with the same mood as the original one has.
I'll surely check on the other poems and give some reviews as you suggested.
Best regards
