I found only one article called "The Reminiscences of Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan", in which at least one trip to Finland was mentioned. Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan visited Finland in 1913, and he went through all the lakes up to the north. He also shot rapids in Ulea river (Oulu-joki in Finnish). The link to the article is available here:

There is also this website https://zafrullahkhan.weebly.com/ but with the quick browsing I didn't find any mention of trips to Finland.

There is no monolingual dictionary of Finnish idioms as comprehensive as The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms available. The only similar book would be Naulan kantaan : nykysuomen idiomisanakirja (Otava, 1993). Though not quite what you are looking for, the phrasal dictionary Suurella sydämellä ihan sikana : suomen kielen kuvaileva fraasisanakirja (Gummerus, 2008) covers many Finnish idioms.You might also find the following bilingual dictionaries useful: Suomi-englanti idiomi- ja fraasisanakirja (Art House, 2007)Bird in the hand is worth kymmenen oksalla : 50 Finnish/English idioms in English and Finnish (WSOY, 2002)Parempi pyy pivossa kuin two in the bush : 50 Finnish idioms in English and Finnish = 50 englantilaista idiomia suomeksi…
Dear Ms. ..., I recommend you to check via http://www.kirjastot fi the database of your nearest library.
