Art in Nature by Tove Jansson

Price: £7.99 Add to Basket

Ali Smith has described the recent translations of Tove Jansson's delightful books as like 'finding buried treasure'. In the title story, an elderly caretaker at an art exhibition chances upon a couple bickering about the meaning of a piece of contemporary art they have just bought. By introducing a rather unusual idea regarding the work in question, the caretaker is able to reconcile them. Wise, authentic and often unsettling, Jansson's writing continues to win new admirers.
