A short week for me means a brief message rather than my usual weekly wind up. You will, however, still see announcements for both Tove Jansson & Moomin Month and Women in Translation Month 2026, and among the birthday celebrants this weekend are Herman Melville, James Baldwin and Rose Tremain.
This week we read a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, look at books read and reviewed, discover some of the best writing about literature on the blogosphere, anticipate Women in Translation Month 2020, pause for a podcast and highlight fascinating features from across the Internet.
My first Janssonian contribution to the Tove Trove Library is the fifth book in the Moomin series, first published in 1954.
This week we highlight books read and reviewed, look forward to Women in Translation Month, discover some of the best writing about literature in the blogosphere and focus on fascinating features from across the Internet.
