Note

1. Originally published in Finnish as Tytto taivaan laiturilla by W. Söderström (Porvoo, 1951).
2. "Originally published in 1951, this novel tells of a young girl living with her deeply religious grandparents in pre-war Vyborg -- before it became part of the Soviet Union. Leena hates school, loves music and rain, and wanders through the town in a state of childish enchantment. "Like a spruce cone, a child falls into a world where logical disorder replaces magical order, and there you are -- in trouble, we'll agree." The world she inhabits features multiple layers of reality, and this is reflected in the novel's artful narrative: life and death are reflections of each other, and reality is merely a map of the individual's inner world. Through the naive perspective of a young girl, the book addresses deep philosophical concerns in simple, lucid prose" -- Provided by publisher.
