Abstract
This article contributes to developing research on crossover literature by investigating Finland’s Tove Jansson as a cross-writer. Harju identifes complex themes in her work that may draw and link an all-ages audience—existential queries, expositions on the mystery of time and death, and journeys to self-discovery—and discuss the parallels Jansson explores between children’s and adult’s experiences in two works: a novel “for children,” Moominpappa at Sea , and an “adult” novel, The Summer Book . Both texts reflect “the crossover continuum,” a philosophy of continuance between children’s and adult experiences that encourages intergenerational connections.
