Fushi, that's wild that you read all these growing up. I had some intense books as a kid but nothing this intense. Thanks also for the links to the cartoon version! I posted it on my tumblr and will likely embed it in this post.
But I prefer different kind of illustrations myself (what Wiiralt did for Juhan Jik stories, for example:http://www.flickr.com/photos/51174022@N03/4733636708/; http://www.flickr.com/photos/51174022@N03/4732995137/; http://www.flickr.com/photos/51174022@N03/4733635786/ )
I would spend my summers in Estonia until I was 6 years of age. I did not speak or read the language but I had and still have the Juri Arrak books. The illustrations of Panga-rehe Jutud wer particularly enthralling. Can anyone tell me what that book is about?
Whoa...

ReplyDeleteI have read every single one of these as a kid. I grew up a broken man, much like the rest of my compatriots.
ReplyDeleteAnd, not to be missed, the animated version of Suur Tõll:
