Thus, for those who – like me – are interested in the writings of Ms.

As her novels were all originally written in Swedish (she was a member of the Swedish-speaking minority population of Finland), not one of the languages in which I am fluent, I must rely on English translations – some of which are rather difficult to obtain. Most recently this has led me deep into the novels of the Finnish author and artist Tove Jansson.

Like many avid readers, when I find an author I very much enjoy I tend to read through his or her entire body of work.
