Tove Jansson's first book for adults was a memoir, capturing afresh the enchantments and fears of her Helsinki childhood. Restored to its original form, Sculptor's Daughter gives us a glimpse of the mysteries of winter ice, the bonhomie of balalaika parties, and the vastness of Christmas viewed from beneath the tree. Published in a deluxe hardback edition for Christmas 2013, to mark the centenary of Tove Jansson's birth (1914-2014) Similar books: Ways of Escape by Graham Greene Beyond the Vicarage by Noel Streatfeild Hidden Lives by Margaret Forster The Fifth Book of Peace by Maxine Hong Kingston Must You Go? by Antonia Fraser Pimp by Iceberg Slim About My Sisters by Debra Ginsberg Memoirs by Kingsley Amis The Enchanted Places by Christopher Milne Thirteen Senses by Victor Villaseñor My Life So Far by Jane Fonda My Life as Me by Barry Humphries After All by Mary Tyler Moore Patrimony by Philip Roth Couldn't Keep It to Myself by Wally Lamb Maeve's Times by Maeve Binchy Confessions of a Knife by Richard Selzer I'll Fly Away by Wally Lamb Magical Thinking by Augusten Burroughs
