"I find myself talking to you about all the great joys, all the
agonies, all my thoughts..." - Letter to Eva Konikova, 1946 Out of
the thousands of letters Tove Jansson wrote a cache remains that
she addressed to her family, her dearest confidantes, and her
lovers, male and female. Into these she spilled her innermost
thoughts, defended her ideals and revealed her heart. To read these
letters is both an act of startling intimacy and a rare privilege.
Penned with grace and humour, Letters from Tove offers an almost
seamless commentary on Tove Jansson's life as it unfolds within
Helsinki's bohemian circles and her island home. Spanning fifty
years between her art studies and the height of Moomin fame, we
share with her the bleakness of war; the hopes for love that were
dashed and renewed, and her determined attempts to establish
herself as an artist. Vivid, inspiring and shining with integrity,
Letters from Tove shows precisely how an aspiring and courageous
young artist can evolve into a very great one.
