Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition of this collection of stories about childhood in Finland, published two years after the Soviets invaded Finland during World War II, with black-and-white and color illustrations by American artist Walter Chappell, inscribed on the half title: "1941. May you better understand the gifts of America through reading about the many struggles of Finland! Sincerely, Libushka Bartusek." Written by during the early days of World War II, in the first year of the Winter War, this children's book concentrates on a Finnish-American boy's first visit to Finland and the diverse customs of the Finns he meets there, from using a sauna to riding a reindeer-pulled sled. Bartusek, a Czech-American children's author, wrote this work to follow an earlier children's work about Czechoslovakia (Happy Times in Czechoslovakia).

This book aims to show Finland as a modern, thriving nation with a population committed to progress. Early price sticker affixed to rear pastedown.
