This is a `new` Tove Jansson, published for the first time in English. Tales of obsession & ambition are revealed & sparkle `like buried treasure`. An elderly caretaker at a large outdoor exhibition, called Art in Nature, finds that a couple have lingered on to bicker about the value of a picture; he has a surprising suggestion that will resolve both their row & his own ambivalence about the art market. A draughtsman`s obsession with drawing locomotives provides a dark twist to a love story. A cartoonist takes over the work of a colleague who has suffered a nervous breakdown only to discover that his own sanity is in danger.
