Hardback edition

Notes from an Island is both a memoir and homage to the Klovharun island which the two women, Tove Jansson and Tuulikki Pietilä, loved intensely and relinquished only when pressed by age. It is also a unique collaboration between two artists. Tove’s spare, precise prose – diary entries, vignettes, and extracts from Brunström’s log – frame the subtle washes and aquatints created by Tuulikki. Book in English.
