Tove Jansson's booksare lovedin her native Finland and all over the world. And while millions have delighted in the adventures of Little My, Snufkin, Moomintroll and the other creatures of Moominvalley, the life of Jansson - daughter, friend and companion - is more touching still.
Tuula Karjalainen's new biography gives a fresh perspective on Jansson's life and art, showing us how closely they were interlinked. She reveals how Jansson worked in times of turmoil and amid her own private heartbreaks, and how her emotional life, especially her relationship with Tuulikki Pietil , fed her creativity. Above all she explores how Jansson changed the values and attitudes of her time - never as a flag-bearer, but as someone who lived quietly yet uncompromisingly according to her own choices.
This moving and candid biography shows us how Tove chose to work and to love, untiringly, until the end.
