Teuvo Pakkala

Theodor Oskar Frosterus, who took the name Teuvo Pakkala in 1889, was born in Oulu on 9 April 1862 and took his school-leaving examination there at the Finnish lyceum in 1882. He came to writing through journalism, translated Ibsen, Hamsun and Nansen, and taught; opposed to corporal punishment, he defended a gentle education, which he also put into a primer. For the theatre he wrote a musical comedy about the timber floaters, which became one of the most performed plays in the country. He died in Kuopio on 7 May 1925.
