Famed in the UK for her creation of the Moomin family, Jansson is rather belatedly beginning to gather the richly deserved esteem for her adult writings. For that I offer my heart-felt thanks to publishers ''Sort of books'' and Thomas Teal, who has been responsible for most of the translations. Receiving this one, two things strike: firstly I somehow seem to have missed one of the series, and secondly there'll come a time sooner rather than later when there'll be no more to be had. The former will be rectified, the latter is a sad thought.
Definitely recommended.
For those who've not yet come across Jansson we can heartily recommend anything with her name on the cover, but you could do worse than to start here [[Travelling Light by Tove Jansson]] or for a very different take on the short story format we also think you'll like [[The Collected Short Stories of Lydia Davis by Lydia Davis|The Collected Short Stories of Lydia Davis]]. You might enjoy [[The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova]] - we were not impressed.
