Letters from Tove

Wonderful book! Arrived on time! Recommend seller highly!

Tove wrote letters, lots of letters.  They were to family, friends, readers and more.  Of these the editors include 160  written between 1932 and 1988.  Each section of the book begins with an introduction that helps to place the letters in context.  For example, in letters to family, it is noted that Tove left Helsinki to study in Stockholm and also spent time in Paris and Italy.  The book includes photographs of Tove and those to whom she wrote.  There are also drawings, as for instance, a map of a Paris neighborhood, an outfit that Tove wore or some of her art. This book will be welcomed by fans of the Moomin series who would like to know the author better.  It will also appeal to anyone who enjoys the insights to be found in the letters that people write.Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed reading these letters. Tove Jansson wrote letters her entire life. The book begins with letters she wrote home while at school. The letters offer a wonderful slice of life of her growth as a woman and an artist. Even if you are not familiar with the Moomin book you will still enjoy this read. Enjoy

This book of letters gave me such a lift during such a challenging time. I've read all her children's books multiple times since childhood, and read one of her novels for adults a few years ago. This book of letters opens up a whole new dimension and perspective onto this writer and artist.

Un precio muy modesto para una edición tan bien hecha. El diseño de la portada, la calidad de las hojas y la tapa, es un trabajo excelente. Por no decir del contenido. Es un libro exquisito. Muy completo y lleno de pequeñas notas que nos ayudan a adentrarnos realmente en la vida de Tove Jansson. Vale la pena completamente

Great publication

Un libro recomendado para los seguidores de la autora finlandesa.
