The Man Who Spoke Snakish

I really have to thank the "Read Broader" folks, especially for their "Small Press Works in Translation" category - how else would I have come across this gem of an Estonian fantasy/fable/allegory/whatever? It was fantasy in the very best kind of way, completely fantastical - there was no way to predict which way the story would go. I understand from some Goodread comments that many of the Estonian folklore and in-jokes are lost in the translation (and some day it might be interesting to have an annotated version) but this was completely enjoyable on its own merits.
