An elderly artist and her six-year-old granddaughter while away a summer together on a tiny island in the gulf of Finland. Gradually, The two learn to adjust to each other's fears, whims and yearnings for independence, and a fierce yet understated lowe emerges - one that encompasses not only the summer inhabitants but the island itself, with its mossy rocks, windswept firs and unpredictable seas. Full of brusque humour and wisdom, "The Summer Book" is a profoundly Life-Affirming story. Tove Yansson Captured much of her own experience and spirit in the book, which was her favourite of the novels she wrote for adults. This new edition sees the return of a European literary gem - fresh, authentic and humane.
