Letters from Tove by Tove Jansson
5.0
Thank you to this book for letting me feel so close to my idol
Interestingly, this collection of letters is not only filled with Tove’s beautiful adventures and thoughts, fully transforming her from author to fully fleshed out person and filling in the details that her novels left absent, but it also allows you to get to know the people at the other end of her pen, as if they are really there listening and speaking back to her. I feel bereft upon finishing it and wish I could stay inside her world and mind forever.
