Old Lapland revives in Andreas Alariesto's paintings and stories. Andreas Alariesto (1900-1989) was an innate storyteller. He recorded the vanishing Lappish way of life, historical events and individual people's fates into his paintings, stories and songs. Lapland, its nature and people glow in a peculiar way in paintings. Depictions are tinged by gentle humour and tradition-respecting attitude towards life. Articles in the book shed sight on his life and production from many interesting viewpoints.
