Tove Jannson cover gallery

Best known for her series of children's books featuring the family of Moomintrolls, Tove Jannson also wrote novels and short stories for adults, many of which have now been translated. Mel is a fan and I've taken the opportunity to scan the covers of those titles she has picked up recently.
