  The Ancient Faith of the Suomaa People is a tongue-in-cheek story of the Finns’ roots, drawing from the world’s myths.

  The Ancient Faith of the Suomaa People is an independent prequel to Matti Hagelberg’s magnum opus Läskimooses, which was chosen as the most beautiful book of 2021 by the Finnish Committee for Book Art. Inspired by old newspaper comic strips, this Kalevala-like story with a cheerfully madcap style has appeared in part in Kirkko ja kaupunki newspaper in 2018 and 2019.
