Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of a little-known group of seafaring people who have long been shrouded in myth and folklore: the Finns. Drawing on historical records, folklore, and archaeological evidence, the author traces the Finns' presence across the British Isles and into Europe, uncovering their unique cultural practices and challenging traditional narratives. The book goes beyond the familiar tales of mermaids and mermen, revealing a complex and vibrant culture centered around the use of skin-covered kayaks for fishing, piracy, and travel. The author explores how these kayaks, and the Finns' remarkable seafaring skills, shaped the perception of them as beings who could transform into seals or other aquatic creatures. The author weaves together accounts from historical texts, including accounts from the seventeenth century, with local traditions and legends to demonstrate how these sea-faring people impacted the history and folklore of the regions they inhabited. The book's insights into the Finns, their culture, and their impact on the British Isles and Europe offer a compelling and nuanced look at a forgotten people and their unique place in history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
