A beautiful and intricate peep-inside book based on the original stories and artwork of Tove Jansson.
Tove Jansson (Author/Illustrator)
Tove Jansson was born in Helsingfors, Finland, in 1914. Her mother
was a caricaturist who designed 165 of Finland's stamps and her
father was a sculptor. She studied painting in Finland, Sweden and
France, and subsequently became a book illustrator. Her
extraordinary illustrative style is seen as a design classic the
world over. Originally written in Swedish, the Moomintroll books
have been translated into over 40 languages and adapted for
television, film, radio and opera. Tove Jansson lived alone on a
small island in the gulf of Finland, where most of her books were
written. She died in 2001.
