I loved the Moomintroll books, and then got a little tired of them and said it was okay for my mother to give them away. Then I got nostalgic for them and bought them all again. Maybe around that time I also heard Jansson had done illustrations for an edition of The Hobbit and scans were provided online. That was interesting. I then started looking for her books. I bought used copies of this book, which I enjoyed, and also Sun City, which was not so successful. (Maybe I read L'Engle's The Summer of the Great-Grandmother at about the same time.)

I am also rather curious about Sculptor's Daughter, but I'm not a fan of interlibrary loan --microfilm is awkward and I hate time limits on my reading-- and I just have to laugh and laugh when ABEbooks tell me they have found a used copy for sale for $500 or $2000. Um, no, I'm curious, but not THAT curious.
