Tove Jansson, the Swedish-speaking Finnish novelist, painter, illustrator, author, and creator of the Moomins, died at age 86.
“One summer morning at sunrise a long time ago
I met a little girl with a book under her arm.
I asked her why she was out so early and
she answered that there were too many books and
far too little time.
And there she was absolutely right.”
- Tove Jansson
“You must go on a long journey before you can really find out how wonderful home is.”
