Written and illustrated by Tove Jansson Translated by Midori Watanabe
Thirty years after it was translated into Japanese, Tove Jansson's collection of short stories, full of clarity and exquisiteness, which created the Moomins, has been revised to be easier to read and released as a beautiful new edition. Set on a deserted island in the summer, this is a small but rich story about a girl who has lost her mother and her grandmother.
Sophia, a young girl who has just opened the door to life, and her grandmother standing at the exit of her life. Although the two men, who are 70 years apart in age, share their thoughts frankly and on an equal footing, They are considerate of each other in a subtle way.
The beauty of the depictions of Nordic nature and a way of life that values your individuality. The gentle gaze of Tove Jansson, winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award, watches over the couple. Now is the time for the stories we care about to shine.
