Tove Jansson war eine finnlandschwedische Schriftstellerin, Zeichnerin, Comicautorin, Graphikerin, Illustratorin und Malerin. Berühmt ist sie vor allem für die von ihr geschaffene Phantasiewelt der Mumintrolle, sie schrieb aber auch Literatur für Erwachsene. Ein besonderer Reiz ihres Werks ist das vielseitige Zusammenspiel von Bildern und Texten.

„I love borders. August is the border between summer and autumn; it is the most beautiful month I know.

Twilight is the border between day and night, and the shore is the border between sea and land. The border is longing: when both have fallen in love but still haven't said anything. The border is to be on the way. It is the way that is the most important thing.“

— Tove Jansson

I met a little girl with a book under her arm.
I asked her why she was out so early and
she answered that there were too many books and

— Tove Jansson, The Summer Book
