Letters from Tove

Page 53

by Tove Jansson


  Back on the island I’m trying to make some progress on my stories and I shall send you the material in the autumn.

  It’s good for me to be able to work slowly, without a deadline.

  I gave a speech at Schildts’ booksellers’ event and Nalle (S.B. Nyberg) said the book ought to come out in the autumn of next year, but I imagine that would mean submission by next spring?

  Please don’t fix anything for now; this is a job that has to take its time if it’s to be any good. But anyway, it’s going to be a book that’s happy and bright, I’ve decided.

  Have a good summer, and hugs from us –

  Tove and Tooti
