I have just had the great pleasure of ‘discovering’ Tove Jansson, having picked up a copy of her Art in Nature, a collection of short stories available in English for the first time this year. The publishers, Sort of Books, acknowledge the assistance of a grant from the Finnish Literature Exchange. The book was printd in Italy – a real international co-operation.
I cannot recall having heard her name before – I was probably too old for her Moomin books when they first appeared in English. But now I have a whole backlist to look forward to.
