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.
As part of the ongoing Tove Trove project, I share my thoughts on Tove Jansson’s first book after the Moomins, her adult short story collection, ‘The Listener’.
As part of the ongoing Tove Trove project, I share my reflections on ‘Fair Play’, Tove Jansson’s “happy tales about two women”.
This week we look at books read and reviewed, discover some of the best writing about literature on the blogosphere and highlight fascinating features from across the Internet.
