I'm currently stuck with Bulevarden och andra texter which is a collection of essays by Tove Jansson. It is a great collection containing everything from travel essays from Paris, Dresden and Verona from before the war, reflections on the motives of the author of children's books, the value of islands, and a great essay on Moomin architecture which is why I borrowed it.

I'm also the custodian of another book called Familjen i dalen ("The family in the Valley") which is a study of Tove Jansson and The Moomins. It contains a lot of Jansson's satire drawings for the magazine Garm during WWII which I had never seen before.

Can you spot the Moomin troll?
