Into these she spilled her innermost thoughts, defended her ideals and revealed her heart. To read these letters is both an act of startling intimacy and a rare privilege.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePenned with grace and humour, Letters from Tove offers an almost seamless commentary on Tove Jansson's life as it unfolds within Helsinki's bohemian circles and her island home. Spanning fifty years between her art studies and the height of Moomin fame, we share with her the bleakness of war; the hopes for love that were dashed and renewed, and her determined attempts to establish herself as an artist. Vivid, inspiring and shining with integrity, Letters from Tove shows precisely how an aspiring and courageous young artist can evolve into a very great one.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: 2020, UK\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Sort of Books\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 496\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13: 9781908745842\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10: 1908745843\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tove Jansson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44829808656650,"sku":"","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781908745842.jpg?v=1698588441","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/letters-from-tove","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
