Lena Frölander-Ulf
Hannele Mikaela Taivassalo (b. 1974) and Lena Frölander-Ulf’s (b. 1976) storybook is a singular, magical tale, accompanied by exclusively pitch-black illustrations. Taivassalo’s gorgeous text and Frölander-Ulf’s enchanting illustrations coax us on a journey into a world of gloom. Hämäräkirja (”The Book of Gloom”) is a scrumptiously dangerous and bewitching story that will seduce adults and children alike – a fairytale that is delicious to read out loud! The original Swedish-language work, Mörkerbok (Söderströms), will be published at the same time as the Finnish translation.
