Esther Freud: The Summer Book

This month our book has been chosen for us by Esther Freud. She has recommended The Summer Book by Tove Jansson.  Here’s what Esther Freud had to say about why she chose The Summer Book:

“It is a magical story of a friendship between a young girl and her grandmother. A wonderful book. I love it.”

At Give a Book we’re big fans of the wonderful Moomin series which we use in so many of our different projects. However, Jansson’s adult novels, of which she wrote ten, are equally special.

Esther Freud’s new book Mr Mac and Me will be out next year.
