I absolutely loved FAIR PLAYTove Jansson has that magical gift of communicating directly with her reader through seemingly effortless prose. Writing of this calibre is a rare thing, to be treasured. -- Philip Ardagh
A book about love - tender, eccentric and fiercely independent. It feels a privilege to read it. -- Esther Freud
Jansson's prose is wondrous: it is clean, deliberate; an aesthetic so certain of itself it's breathtaking. * Daily Telegraph *
