Anni Swan (1875-1958) - Anni Emilia Manninen - used also pen name A.S.
Finnish writer and translator, who wrote mainly for children. Swan's fairy tales were influenced by world literature folk tales, and combined realistic elements with fantasy. In her work differences between social classes create conflicts - the main character is often treated wrong, but wins at the end like in 'Cinderella'. One or two generations of Finnish children were educated in the spirit of her teachings. However, in Swan's stories the pedagogical material did not have the same significance as in Topelius's work. Swan's Christian world view reflected more or less subdued from her publications . [eng]
