The Kalevala by Elias Lonnrot. It is an epic poem of Finnish folklore/mythology. It served as a major inspiration of Tolkien in creating Middle Earth. The main hero, Väinämöinen, clearly inspired the character of Gandalf. Tolkien used the story, Kullervo, the Son of Evil, as the inspiration of the story The Children of Hurin.
Very interesting. I'm still reading Lord of the Rings and Rogue Lawyer, but finished A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Also reading Daylight Must Come by Alan Burgess, which is about Helen Roseveare's 20 years serving as a missionary in the Congo.The Kalevala by Elias Lonnrot.
