The Tales of Ensign Stål, Swedish original title: Fänrik Ståls sägner, (Finnish: Vänrikki Stoolin tarinat) is an epic poem written (in Swedish) by the Finland-Swedish author Johan Ludvig Runeberg, the national poet of Finland. The poem describes the events of the Finnish War (1808-1809) and was published in two parts in 1848 and 1860. The first chapter of the poem also became the national anthem of Finland. "Stål" is Swedish for steel.
