I return to the Finnish archipelago for Tove & Moomin Month with my latest addition to the Tove Trove library – a reading of ‘The Summer Book’, Tove Jansson’s portrait of a grandmother, a granddaughter and the small island where they spend a single summer.
My latest addition to the Moomin shelf in the Tove Trove library is ‘Finn Family Moomintroll’, the third book in the original series, published in 1948.
The latest addition to the Moomin shelf in the Tove Trove library is the first book in the original series, published in 1945 during the final months of World War II. This year its 80th anniversary is being celebrated around the world.
My latest addition to the Moomin shelf of the Tove Trove library is the eighth book in the original series, first published in 1965.
As part of the ongoing Tove Trove project, I share my reflections on ‘Fair Play’, Tove Jansson’s “happy tales about two women”.
My contribution to Moomin Week and the latest addition to the Tove Trove Library.
I share a few thoughts on a new Moomin initiative, which was launched at The National Museum of Finland in Helsinki on 18th February.
Reading. Looking. Thinking. This week it’s all about Moomins, a metal peacock and infuriating politicians.
