The Sampo — James Baldwin

Far away in the Frozen Land in the long ago time a master wizard forged the wondrous Sampo or mill of fortune, which ground out all sorts of treasures and gave wealth and power to its owner. This story, retold in prose from the Finnish Kalevala, tells of the making of this magic mill with its pictured lid of rainbow colors and of the adventures of the heroes who sought to gain possession of it.
