The book serves as a significant cultural artifact, preserving the language and narratives of Finland's heritage. The content of this collection includes various types of traditional verse, from heroic epics and songs to chants related to daily life and nature. Lönnrot curated a selection that offers insights into the life of previous generations, including creation myths, folklore about famous figures like Wäinämöinen, and songs celebrating seasonal festivities. Each cited piece combines lyrical expression with storytelling, capturing the essence of Finnish identity that has been passed down through generations.
