\n\tLeida Tigane <\/span>(21.\/8. V 1908 \u2013 13. II 1983) was a prose writer and children\u2019s author.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tShe was born and educated in Tartu, and graduated from the Girls\u2019 Gymnasium of the Estonian Youth Education Society (1927). She worked as a compositor, editor of the children\u2019s magazine P\u00e4ike<\/i>, for the scientific publisher Teaduslik Kirjandus, the newspaper Postimees <\/i>and the cultural paper Sirp ja Vasar<\/i>. She was a member of the Writers\u2019 Union (from 1945) and the CPSU (from 1949). She died in Tallinn, and was buried at the Metsakalmistu (\u2018Forest Cemetery\u2019) of Tallinn. Her sister was the children\u2019s author Aino Tigane (1912 \u2013 1991).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tShe came to literature with some children\u2019s stories published in periodicals in 1927; Lugu kahest laisast varesest <\/i>(\u2018The Story of the Two Lazy Crows\u2019, 1936) and Metsatalu vahvad loomad <\/i>(\u2018The Great Animals of Forest Farm\u2019, 1938) appeared separately in book form. However, what is predominant in her works of the thirties are her novels of entertainment for adults: the first of them was Palun seda h\u00e4rrat <\/i>(\u2018That Gentleman, Please\u2019, 1935), which was followed by the novels Marga m\u00fc\u00fcb mehi <\/i>(\u2018Marga Sells Men\u2019, 1937), Seitse pastlapaari <\/i>(\u2018Seven Pairs of Moccasins\u2019, 1938) and S\u00f5ber merir\u00f6\u00f6vel <\/i>(\u2018Friend Pirate\u2019, 1939). The protagonist in the novels is usually a young lady who wishes to marry, and the realisation of this aim occasions various comical circumstances. Humour and comedy are among Tigane\u2019s characteristic traits. She gives lively descriptions of the slum environment and describes colourful types and domestic conditions. These last are artfully displayed in the events in Tigane\u2019s nicely balanced Seitse pastlapaari, <\/i>in which the views of a young urban high-school girl and the more conservatively inclined residents of a farmhouse come into collision.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter the Second World War Tigane concentrated on children\u2019s literature, publishing, for example, Vanaema maja <\/i>(\u2018Grandma\u2019s House\u2019, 1946), Kelleks ma tahan saada <\/i>(\u2018Who I Want to Be\u2019, 1948), Mina oskan paremini <\/i>(\u2018I Can do it Better\u2019, 1952), Jutte lastele <\/i>(\u2018Stories for Children\u2019, 1955). Great popularity came with Peremees ja sulane <\/i>(\u2018The Master and the Farmhand\u2019, 1958), based on motifs from Estonian folklore. A survey of her work is available in the selections Tera siit ja teine sealt <\/i>(\u2018One Grain from Here and Another from There\u2019, 1968) and Vikerkaar <\/i>(\u2018Rainbow\u2019, 1978). There are animal stories as well as stories of contemporary life for children in her work. Characteristic of Tigane is gripping subject-matter and a humorous and optimistic world-view, in which there is a place for instruction too.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1932 Tigane won third prize in the Vaba Maa <\/i>literature competition for her humorous piece J\u00e4nesejaht <\/i>(\u2018Hunting Hares\u2019), second prize in the Loodus publishing house\u2019s <\/span>novel competition for the novel Seitse pastlapaari <\/i>(1938) and second prize for the novel S\u00f5ber merer\u00f6\u00f6vel <\/i>(1939) in the newspaper P\u00e4evaleht <\/i>competition for serial novels. The story Hunt ja kutsikas<\/i> (\u2018The Wolf and the Puppy\u2019) won second prize in the 1940 competition for children\u2019s books. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
