Faces of Finland takes a fresh and richly illustrated look at this intriguing country, from its people, history and climate to its customs, natural environment and industry. From the bracing snowbound winters to the magical light-filled summers, the home of the sauna, the Moomintroll and Nokia mobile phones is a land of colourful and unforgettable contrasts.

English writer and photographer Tim Bird, a Finnish resident for more than 20 years, presents a lively, personal and well informed portrait of this dynamic outpost of the European Union.

‘Faces of Finland’ describes the well-known elements of Finnish life, such as the sauna-bathing ritual and the country’s innovative high-technology industries. But it also looks at Finland’s more off-beat aspects, including its colourful youth culture and eccentric pastimes. The role of women in Finnish society and the staggering extent of the country’s beautiful natural environment are also described and illustrated.

This book is an essential business gift and personal souvenir, and a compact, handsome introduction to one of Europe’s best kept secrets.
