Moomin: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip - Book One: 1
The Moomin family if you dont know are an emotional family of finnish trolls and their day to day adventures. Based on about 7 novels which are awesome. As childrens works they have a great depth of emotional sophistication and frquently deal with meloncholia, lonliness and social anxiety. Some have criticized them as subversive and a bit commie but all the nicer families are kind of comunes really. There are hundreds of moomin products and theme parks in europe and asia yet they are virtualy unheard of in Australia. There is a stop animation and japanese cartoon also. This series is a compilation of newspaper strips produced for the uk. A bit different from the books but still warm, wonderful and make me feel gooey and loved. These are among some of the most beautiful hardcovers ive ever got. I like a good book if i touch it and it feels nice - ive read pdf’s to find real book has ugly to the touch paper. I have always found her novel illustrations to be charming so a multi volume comic is even better. If you have kids force them to read the books. There is a moomin cookbook im tepted by as well. The wikepedia entry is a nice read too. Im still waiting for my own snorkmaiden.
