Letters from Klara

'Each new translation proves a revelation of Jansson's literary astuteness'. Ali Smith

Tove Jansson's penultimate collection of short stories, translated into English for the first time.The rich seam that is Jansson's adult prose continues with this penultimate collection of short stories, written in her seventies at the height of her Moomin fame and translated into English for the first time. In these light-footed, beautifully crafted yet disquieting stories, Jansson tells of discomfiting encounters, unlooked for connections and moments of isolation that span generations and decades. Letters From Klara proves yet again her mastery of this literary form.
