I'd so love to be at this. I adored her children's books when I was young (and now have first edition copies of most of them) - and have just put down "The True Deceiver", truly a pearl lifted from northern snows.
Perhaps some could ask why a biography of Jansson is not available in English. I believe one was written years back but I can't even find second-hand copies.Even her own "Sculptor's Daughter" seems to have been out of print for a generation.
