Kalavala

[Even Flood]

Another hello from Norway

I can only add my own sentiments to those of Geir, this promises
to be a great story, and I look forward to the rest of it. I feared 
working within the constraints of such an esoteric work as the 
Kalavala would hamper Don, but this seems definitely not to 
have been the case.I should have known Don's work better 
by know :-) And this time the translators to Norwegian seems 
to have got it right!

(I have only read the first part, it came to the shops
yesterday.)

>I just got the Norwegian Donald Duck weekly in the mailbox, containing the
second part of Don's Kalevala story.
>
>It was incredible. It was absolutely way above anything he has done. He
will probably not agree with me, but that doesn't matter.
>
>I happen to enjoy the kind of story that suggests so much behind what is
actually told. 
>
>The idea of introducing the Duck's into the Kaleva universe is great!
>
>I am currently reading Kalevala in a Swedish translation to get behind
Don's story - I bought the book in 1985 in Finland but haven't been able to
finish it yet - so what an occasion to renew my acquaintance with this
mythological universe!
