I changed my avatar to the piece by the Finnish painter Axel Gallen-Kallela (the same painter as my last avvie) named "Kullervon kirous" - the Curse of Kullervo I might quess it is in English.

If there are copies of the book availalble later in the day I might try and purchase two of them. One to myself and another one to Lommy - as I know she will not be lining up there in earnest anyway in the morning (or then I'm mistaken as we didn't remember to discuss this as she was here during the weekend).

It's great that the thing we get like this is my favourite story - it was a really troublesome one when I first read the story of Kullervo before I went to school at 70's...!
