I've also listened to the BBC production of The Summer Book, but thought it was just so-so. I guess I should get around to reading the book proper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-55019714197712307922012-08-12T21:37:48.895+01:002012-08-12T21:37:48.895+01:00That's a lovely review Simon.

I'll keep an eye open for this, as I've not read it yet, but Jansson is one of my Great Discoveries this year, and I love the books I've read so much that I want everyone else to read her and love her too!Christine Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814026435889782750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-73970250597359928992012-08-10T09:22:58.743+01:002012-08-10T09:22:58.743+01:00Doesn't the original title mean something like...Doesn't the original title mean something like "Doll's House"?Dark Pusshttp://morganas-cat.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-52555721723518567492012-08-10T08:09:52.605+01:002012-08-10T08:09:52.605+01:00What a great review!

I'm not sure why, since it is stuffed with brilliant stories, I don't think she could write a bad one. I share your excitement every time I see there's more of her work being translated!<br /><br />I felt that the cartoonist story was in part a clever joke on her part, as if she were playing with exactly that blurring of art and nature/life that her readers would be bound to wonder about. <br /><br />Have a lovely weekend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
