A Winter Book: Selected Stories by Tove Jansson Translated from the Swedish by Kingsley Hart, Silvester Mazzarella and David McDuff. •INTRODUCED BY ALI SMITH Following the widely acclaimed and bestselling The Summer Book, here is a Winter Book collection of some of Tove Jansson's best loved and most famous stories. Drawn from youth and older age, and spanning most of the twentieth century, this newly translated selection provides a thrilling showcase of the great Finnish writer's prose, scattered with insights and home truths. It has been selected and is introduced by Ali Smith. •The Winter Book features 13 stories from Tove Jansson's first book for adults, The Sculptor's Daughter (1968) plus 7 of her most cherished later stories (from 1971 to 1996), translated into English and published here for the first time. With afterwords by Philip Pullman, Frank Cottrell Boyce and Esther Freud.

    👍Worth reading

    некоторые тексты показались мне удивительными, а некоторые — скучными. в целом, я восхищаюсь тем, что Янссон уберегла своего внутреннего ребёнка до самой старости.

Quotes

    Beautifully crafted and deceptively simple-seeming, these stories are like pieces of scattered light.
