The joy of nature and the need for tolerance in Tove Jansson's 1972 novel
That's all very well for you Northern Hemisphereans- down here in the Southern Winter I'm channelling the spirit of the Groke. No joke! I used her as an illustration in my last post. Jansson for life! The Summer Book is a masterpiece!
Ha! Thanks Rosie, of course, you are not currently in summer! (Although over here in the UK, you wouldn't know that we are, either atm...)
Another book ordered from the library!
Excellent! :)) Just the perfect time of year for it, too!
I absolutely feel in love with this book and reading your essay made me want to re-read it!
That's music to my ears, Juliana! Perfect for a sunny Sunday, too :)
Oh, this sounds lovely - I will have to read this!
It's such a gentle, lovely book 📖
Oh, I LOVE this book. Great gift for new grandmothers I think. Thanks Kate!
It's lovely, isn't it?! 😀
What a wonderful post. So interesting thank you.
Thank you 💕
I was about to pick this book up for my 10-days journey )) I read it ages ago, so wanted to relive those positive emotions I remember it gave me.
Oh, I hope you enjoy the re-read, Victoria! 😀
A lovely post to read about one of my favourite books. Now is certainly to time to read it!
Thank you, Deborah! It's perfect for this time of year! 😀
