Publications

The Finnish Tolkien Society has two publications, Hobittilan Sanomat and Legolas, which are published in cooperation with HeAT (Helsinki's Academic Tolkienists). In addition, we publish an annual wall calender, decorated with art-work by our members. The calender, as well as old issues of magazines, may be purchased from our postal sale service, as far as they are available.

Hobittilan Sanomat (HobSan)

Hobittilan Sanomat (Hobbiton News) is our "newsletter" and it comes out four times/year. It is size A5 and 16-32 pages in length and includes news of other Tolkien societies around the world, as well as information on our upcoming and past events.

Legolas

Legolas is Finland's best, greatest and only fantasy literature publication. Published also four times/year, it contains articles about Tolkien, fantasy in general, and everything more or less connected with it. Each issue also contains at least one short story. Legolas is size A5 as well, ranging from 40 to 70 pages. Cooperation with other societies has led to special issues. These include Kosmoskynä-Legolas (Cosmic Pen -Legolas) with The Finnish Science Fiction Writers Association and Legolarppaaja (Legolarper, LARP = Live Action RolePlaying), with The Finnish Live Action Role Players' Association. In 1994 an issue of Legolas called Greenleaf was published in English for the Northern Tolkien-festival. A second international issue of Greenleaf was published in 2003, just before the Eurocon in Finland.
