I bought this book in 1978 and reread it after I finished my bio of Tove. Her father was a sculptor, Viktor Janssen, and her mother, “Ham”, an artist. It is a quick read-about 2 hours-and consists of short vignettes written from a child’s point of view.
I received this book as a birthday gift from my brother in 2017 and read it then.
The week of April the 14th 2019 saw the launch of the new CG animated adaptation of Tove Jansson’s creation “Moominvalley” – on Sky One in the U.K.
