Moomin: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip - Book Two

I love moomin and this is a nice collection of the comics.

i love you tove jansson you’d be so upset with this world if you were still alive

I grew up with Moomin and the beings of Moomin Valley, my daughter age 9 adores Tove’s stories as well. They are timeless and endearing short stories for all ages. These comic compilations are a wonderful addition to any library or coffee table, and they make a wonderful gift. Highly recommend diving into these little heartfelt tales of mischief, nature, and the Moomin experience.

I've read all the Moomin books, and seen the animated series, but I didn't realize that Tove Jansson had also done comic strips, which have now been collected in several volumes. They are completely delightful, and the books themselves are beautiful and well-made. I would recommend these to any Moomin fan.

These made a great gift.

Moomin is one of the most brilliant, quirky, funny and thoughtful comic strips ever made. Cleverly drawn, highly imaginative writing. Of Swedish origin myself I was lucky enough to grow up with Moomin, and also to find a complete set of the original 10 Moomin books (in Swedish) many years ago. I have always loved the characters, their adventures, interesting philosophies and opinions, and interpretations of the world, etc. I am very happy that these books (the first two at least) are finally re-issued in English so my kids can read them, and the rest of the US. Highly recommended to both young and old. Please buy the first and second book, so the publisher releases the other 8 books too.

This is going to be a weird review. I am currently building my own computer to place on a very low table at the end of my bed. I will not be able to see the monitor from my bed with the way it sits on the table. I ordered some of these Moomin books to use to stand the monitor on because they are one of the few book series that are all the same size. Plus I really like Moomin and I've always wanted these books.

I read these whimsical, carefully cafted comicstrips as a kid, way back in the seventies in the Dutch newspaper "De Volkskrant" and the strange atmosphere intrigued me. Drawn in a very distinctive, clear line, the stories leasurely meander through the loose plots. Reading Moomin brings you in a relaxed state of mind. Read a story every night before bedtime and you're guaranteed to have pleasant dreams.
