\n\tToomaspoeg was born in the village of J\u00e4rve in Harku parish, Harju county. From 1924 to 1935 he attended E. Lender\u2019s Gymnasium of the Humanities in Tallinn, and from 1936 to 1941 studied in the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Tartu. From 1944 to 1947 Toomaspoeg worked in the literature department of Estonian Radio, from 1950 to 1955 in the editorial office of the newspaper Noorte H\u00e4\u00e4l<\/i> and from 1965 to 1967 in the Valgus publishing house.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tToomaspoeg translated several novels from German into Estonian, among them works by E.T.A. Hoffmann, L. Feuchtwanger and F. D\u00fcrrenmatt.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tToomaspoeg made her debut with stories in the journal Eesti Noorus <\/i>in 1934. From 1960 to 1963 the journal Looming <\/i>published five of Toomaspoeg\u2019s short stories, including \u2018V\u00f5tmehoidjad\u2019 (\u2018The Key-holders\u2019), which was awarded second prize in Looming<\/i>\u2019s short story competition in 1962.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the V\u00f5tmehoidjad <\/i>collection, which appeared in 1964, Toomaspoeg assembled the best of her short prose, adding some reminiscent stories. Aino Toomaspoeg\u2019s stories are psychologically finely tuned and at times humorous.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
