Publisher's summary

Dive into Tove Jansson's spellbinding memoir and be transported to early 20th-century Helsinki where you'll experience the magic and fears of a childhood infused with the freedom and natural beauty of Finland.

Hailed by Ali Smith for its evocative prose, Jansson's memoir unveils the enchantments of a world where winter ice is a playground of mysteries, balalaika parties radiate warmth, and Christmas takes on epic proportions when viewed from a child's eyes.

A universal tale that speaks to the child in all of us, Sculptor's Daughter is ideal for fans of Tove Ditlevsen's The Copenhagen Trilogy.

Finnish-Swedish writer and artist Tove Jansson (1914-2001) is globally cherished for creating the Moomin universe. Born in Helsinki, her tales of the Moomins captivated readers worldwide. Beyond Moominvalley, she penned profound adult novels, most notably The Summer Book.

The description

More stories than biographical details. Told from point of view of a child but not as good as The Summer Book.
