Description

Tove Jansson's Selected Stories offer a unique glimpse into the life and work of this beloved Finnish writer. Spanning most of the twentieth century, this collection brings together 13 stories from her first book for adults, The Sculptor's Daughter, alongside seven of her most cherished later tales. Translated into English for the first time, these stories showcase Jansson's remarkable prose, infused with insights and home truths. The result is a captivating showcase of her writing, as smooth and odd and beautiful as sea-worn driftwood, and full of light and air as the Nordic summer. Ali Smith has selected and introduced this collection, which provides a thrilling glimpse into the life and work of this remarkable writer.
