About this listen

In this collection comprising of thirteen short stories, Jansson masterfully crafts unsettling narratives that delve into unexpected connections, awkward encounters, and solitary moments

From reconnecting with childhood friends in "Party Games" to exploring the theme of ageing in "Trip to the Riviera", Jansson's short story collection "Letters from Klara" beautifully and intimately depicts the human condition in all its pain and joy.

Finnish-Swedish writer and artist Tove Jansson (1914-2001) is globally cherished for creating the Moomin universe. Born in Helsinki, her tales of the Moomins captivated readers worldwide. Beyond Moominvalley, she penned profound adult novels, most notably "The Summer Book".

I have loved listening to these. Starting with the Summer Book I have listened to 3 in the collection so far. The narrator in this is wonderful. I could listen to her in the background while pottering. Clever witty book, superbly narrated.

Tove Jansson's Short Stories are Delightful
