Sculptor's Daughter

Finnish writer Tove Jansson is best known for her series of imaginative children's books about the Moomins, but she was also a novelist, painter, illustrator, and comic strip author. Her life partner was Tuulikki Pietila, a graphic artist and gallery owner. According to the Moomin website, they were "... among Finland's most visible gay couples..." Her autobiography is a charming remembrance of her childhood.
