Letters from Klara Summary

Letters from Klara: Short stories by Tove Jansson

The rich seam that is Jansson's adult prose continues with this penultimate collection of short stories, written in her seventies at the height of her Moomin fame and translated into English for the first time. In these light-footed, beautifully crafted yet disquieting stories, Jansson tells of discomfiting encounters, unlooked for connections and moments of isolation that span generations and decades. Letters From Klara proves yet again her mastery of this literary form.

A treat of a collection * Mail on Sunday *
Delightful ... Jansson is by turn funny, melancholy and slyly mischievous - qualities brilliantly evident in the titular story * Daily Mail *
