Moominpappa at Sea by Tove Jansson
Leave Moominvalley? Is it possible? Yes, even the Moomin family need a change of scenery sometimes, so they're off to live in a lighthouse on a tiny island. Here they find space to grow, and to do things they couldn't in their comfortable, cluttered valley home. As they discover their new home, the family also discover surprising, and wonderfully funny, new things about themselves.
Finnish writer, artist, and political cartoonist Tove Jansson (1914-2001) is best known for her books about the Moomins, adventurous, amusing cartoon trolls who had much in common with their bohemian, nature-loving author and, it seems, shared many of her family's traits. She is also the author of eleven novels and short-story collections for adults, including The Summer Book and The True Deceiver.
Boel Westin is professor of literature at Stockholm University and author of the biography Tove Jansson: Life, Words, Art. She is chairman of jury for the world's largest children's literature prize, the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.
Helen Svensson was a literary manager at Schildts Forlag Publishers for thirty years where she was Jansson's last editor.
Sarah Death is a prizewinning literary translator, mainly from Swedish, with some forty translated titles to her name.
