This booklet presents the home of Jean and Aino Sibelius. The text provides a guide to the museum and only touches briefly on the personal history and life’s work of Jean Sibelius. After the death of their parents in 1972 Aino Sibelius’s daughters sold most of the property and its buildings to the Finnish State, including the complete interiors, furniture, works of art and the library with its collection of published music. The home was converted into a museum opening in 1974, and the interior was kept as it was during Jean and Aino Sibelius’s time.

North Jutland artist Tove Anderberg (born 1942) has developed a unique individual style in the medium of porcelain, which sets her work apart from traditional Danish ceramics. Sensual sweeping organic shapes, aesthetic purity, and beautiful glazes in many soft colors like off-white, blue, pale green, and ochre, characterize her work. So compelling are these pieces, that you can hardly stop yourself from trying to caress them on the pages of the book.

Andersen, although best known for his masterly fairy tales, was also a travel writer of renown. In 1840 he began a journey that was to take him to Italy, Malta, Greece and the Ottoman Empire. From Constantinople, he went daringly north along the shores of the Black Sea and made his way back to Vienna by sailing up the Danube. Quite a fear. In 1842 he published this book, the best of his travel chrononicles. It is a vivid, colorful and highly personal account that easily carries the readers along to then exotic ports of call in another age of travel. Those who only know Andersen as the author of The Ugly Duckling and The Red Shoes may also find him to be the ideal travel writer.

Little Andrei remember’s living in his mother, in his house right under her heart. Then he was born, and things were not so perfect, and then one day his mama was gone. At an orphanage he meets Vova, who reminds him of the dog in his private world, and together they wander out into the streets of St. Petersburg, looking for Andrei’s mother. Barbro Lindgren’s dreamlike story for readers 5 to 9 was inspired in part by the Russian author and linguist Korney Chukovsy’s work on children’s play and their imagination. Illustrated with gentle watercolors, reminiscent at times of Maurice Sendak’s older work, the book has a mysterious, haunting atmosphere, and can be interpreted in different and profound ways.
