About the author
Christina Björk
18 books28 followers"I was born in 1938 in Stockholm, Sweden, and I have been living there ever since. I love this city, built on some small islands between lake Mälaren and the sea. It’s a city with lots of water and trees and a lot of nature all around it.
I lived and went to school at the island Kungsholmen, just like my good friend and illustrator Lena Anderson. But our school was so big that we never met. I was the only child and got a lot of love and attention from my parents. Every night my father told me a story he had invented, often about my teddy bear, Nalle, and my toy monkey, Jakob, who flew away on my bed-carpet during the night."

Interesting book about Tove Jansson, mostly from the perspective of the writer Christina Björk and her relationship with the Moomin books from when she was a kid. Fun and informative, hardly touches on Jansson's homosexuality in her later years which is actually refreshing considering how much effort is put into analyzing Jansson's work. I hope they translate it for all those English speaking Jansson fans.
