Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Summer Book is a fresh, vivid and magical novel about seemingly endless summers of discovery. An elderly artist and her six year old granddaughter while away the summer together, on a tiny island in the Gulf of Finland, their solitude disturbed only by migrating birds, sudden storms and an occasional passing boat. Gradually, the two learn to adjust to each other's fears, foibles and yearnings for independence, and a fierce yet understated love emerges - one that engulfs not only the summer inhabitants, but the very island itself. Tove Jansson writes with a special toughness, and with a quiet, dry sense of humour, about a small girl and her grandmother, who as kindred spirits share the long days together. A profoundly life affirming story about a small girl and her grandmother who are kindred spirits. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. New Ed. An elderly artist and her six-year-old granddaughter while away a summer together on a tiny island in the gulf of Finland.
