\n\tHeino V\u00e4li (11. VIII 1928 \u2013 23. XI 1990) was a children\u2019s author and prose writer.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tV\u00e4li was born in Tallinn. His father was a casual worker from Saaremaa. The family often moved house. Heino V\u00e4li attended several primary schools and from 1943 to 1944 the Kuressaare Gymnasium. He graduated from the N\u00f5mme school of cinema. He worked for several years in Tallinn as a mechanic in a cinema repair workshop and as a cinema technician. After military service, Heino V\u00e4li switched to journalism. From 1954 to 1957 he worked in the editorial office of the children\u2019s paper S\u00e4de, <\/span><\/i>and thereafter for three years in humorous journalism for Pikker<\/span><\/i>. He also worked as an editor of children\u2019s programmes for Estonian Radio. From 1955 to 1958 Heino V\u00e4li was the secretary and chairman of the NAK, or Young Authors\u2019 Associacion, in Tallinn, and later was the chairman of the children\u2019s literature commission of the Writers\u2019 Union.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHeino V\u00e4li made his debut in 1957 with a collection of children\u2019s stories, Kui vanaema tukastab <\/span><\/i>(\u2018While Grandma\u2019s Snoozing\u2019). Most of his work consists of books of prose for children. Of V\u00e4li\u2019s later work, two books about the pirate Silver One-eye have remained popular until today (they appeared in 1971 and 1981). The stories bear the stamp of the romance of the sea; alongside the realistic present-day scenes there are plenty of fairy-tale types and situations. For the last 20 years of his life Heino V\u00e4li lived on the island of Vilsandi. In the Silver One-eye stories he depicts Vilsandi as a fairyland with highly imaginative place-names. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom 1961 Heino V\u00e4li was a freelance writer. He continued writing for children, but he also tried his hand at short story writing: he wrote about revolutionary times \u2013 the creation of the kolkhoz <\/span><\/i>collective farms \u2013 in the Estonian countryside, about the differing world-views and conflicts among his contemporaries, the new settlers (uusmaasaajad<\/span><\/i>\u00a0\u2013 people who were given land dispossessed from prevous farmers after the Soviet occupation in 1940) and the Forest Brothers (guerrillas fighting against Soviet forces after the World War II). To adults he addressed a pair of stories, influenced by Soviet ideology, about the campaign of the Forest Brothers, Mina, Lauri Pent \u2013 k\u00fcnnimees <\/span><\/i>(\u2018I, Lauri Pent, ploughman\u2019, 1968; 2nd<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0prize winner in the Looming <\/span><\/i>short story competition) and Veri mullal<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(\u2018Blood on the Ground\u2019, published 1973, winner of the 1974 Friedebert Tuglas short story prize). These two stories appeared together in 1982 under the same covers under the title Veri mullal<\/span><\/i>, and in which the second story bore the name Mina, Helmuth Ass \u2013 p\u00f5letusohver<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(\u2018I, Helmuth Ass, a Burnt Offering\u2019) in the book.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1988 V\u00e4li won the annual Juhan Smuul literature award for the children\u2019s story Naga<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(\u2018The Peg\u2019). Heino V\u00e4li\u2019s children\u2019s stories have been translated into Russian, Lithuanian, Armenian, German and other languages. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHeino V\u00e4li was the father of the poet Katrin V\u00e4li.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
