Kevyt kantamus

With a continuous string from one story to another, this collection is easy to read. It holds a lot of glimpses of our everyday lives' precious passing moments in a very lovely way only Tove Jansson has. I liked this a lot more than many of her other books, because these short, kind of light stories each were so carefully chosen and set, and carelessly written.

Something that really popped out was the way she tied each passing story to the next one with a small hint. I didn't know if it was annoying or charming, but at least it made me feel like I'm reading the stories from the same world, where they might be coexisting simultaneously and maybe even affecting each other somehow. But that might just be the customary fairytale magic she does.
