Tove's tribute to her island refuge and the art of Tuulikki Pietilä
The Finnish artist and author Tove Jansson (1914-2001) is best known as the creator of the world famous Moomin stories and as author of The Summer Book. For more than forty years she shared her life with the graphic artist and professor, Tuulikki Pietila (1917-2009). Klovharun was their summer island refuge.
'It's hard to describe the astonishing achievement of Tove
Jansson's artistry' - Ali Smith
'The Summer Book's limpid style belies a deep psychological
subtlety. It's about how people can live close together for months
with tact and grace, and about how rich and rewarding even a small
world can be.' - Melissa Harrison
