Previously unseen drawings by Tove Jansson, the Finnish artist and writer behind the Moomins books, are set to go on display in London, according to an exclusive report by The Guardian.
The exhibition, which will feature more than 100 exhibits, is being staged 25 years after Jansson's death. Among the items on show will be original art from her first Moomins book, according to the report.
