Editing Tove Jansson (section)

=== Other writing ===
Jansson's first foray outside children's literature was ''[[Bildhuggarens dotter]]'' (''Sculptor's Daughter''), a semi-autobiographical novel published in 1968. She went on to write five more novels for adults, including {{lang|sv|Sommarboken}} (''[[The Summer Book]]'') and five collections of short stories. ''The Summer Book'' is the best known of her adult fiction; it describes the summer stay on an island of a young girl and her grandmother. The girl is modelled on her niece, [[Sophia Jansson]]; the girl's father on Sophia's father, Lars Jansson; and the grandmother on Tove's mother Signe.<ref name="Westin"/>
