Some months ago I was browsing the blog of writer and talker, Brian Sibley.
I found his blog via my friend Boris, and I initially gone there to leave uncomplimentary comments about him (Boris, that is).
In the brief exchange of comments, Brian mentioned that he recalled a small tribute to Tove Jansson I had drawn a couple of years back.
This exchange of comments led to his revelation that he and Tove had corresponded for some time.
It took only a few months of very minor nagging to get Brian to blog about his letter writing adventures with her and I am delighted to say that it is worth the wait.
Like-wise dude, it was very cool to share The Fred with you, your stuff is really cool!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the Tove stuff!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes --- and thanks for nagging... :-)
Maybe you need to read what Tove said about Sibley.
ReplyDeleteAhhh. Your stuff ain't cool, I is quite good.

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the blog link. I knew nothing about Tove. I work in a bookshop and wondered why we were stocking so many of these little blue books (The Summer Book)...Thanks to Mr. Sibley now I know. Gonna have to read and review one in order to avert people away from reading Katie Price's crap!
ReplyDeleteRebekit - I imagine you can guess.
ReplyDeleteBrian - The letters Oscar refers to are hideous and should never see the light of day.
Forbes - Her adult books are very good, but don't miss her Moomin books.
Also - I'm embarrassed to tell you to leave Katie Price alone.
She's ok.
