From New York Review Books - NYRB Classics
This brand new collection of work by Finnish phenom Tove Jansson features the form in which the author's narrative talents are on their most dazzling display--the short story. Jansson's unmistakeable brand of whimsy (as made world-famous in her Moomin cartoon series), her respect for quotidian pains and pleasures, and her eye for detail make this collection a must-read for any fan or practicioner of the short story form.
