Here endeth my study of the Moomins and their fellow creatures. I'll miss them.A number of creatures feel unsettled and decide to make their ways to Moomin Valley, so as to hang out in a sensible household, i.e. that run my Moominmamma and Moominpappa. But the Moomins are not there. So, the creature...

After several "difficult" books, I figured it was time to revisit the Moomins. Sadly, this will be my last visit with them for a while, I plucked the last two Moomin books from the children's shelves in our library, and there won't be anymore for me to enjoy. Anyway, in this book, it seems that Moom...

Muminki znałam tylko z wieczorynki. Nie powiem, polubiłam tą rodzinkę. Spędziłam z nimi wiele przyjemnych wieczorów, których nie żałuję. Nie miałam jednak pojęcia, że są też książeczki. Dopiero niedawno się o nich dowiedziałam. I nie mogłam nie przeczytać choć jednej. Padło na "Lato Muminków", bo za...

I think this might be my favorite Moomin book so far. It's the fourth I've read. It's midsummer in Moomin Valley and Snuffkin has yet to return from his winter adventures. Moomintroll is missing him terribly. But, the local volcano erupts and causes a stir in the ground, or something, which causes t...

This reads a bit like a prequel to the first two Moomins books I read. In those books, Moominpappa spends a lot of his time up in his study, writing his memoirs. In this book, the memoirs of his early life are recounted. In essence, he's reading them to Moomintroll, Sniff and Snuffkin, occasionally...

Okay, I love these strips. Some really sneaky humor too.

I thought this was rather fun. It's sort of cute little creatures going on with adventures of one kind and another. Sometimes there is danger, but they find ways to get out of it. Sometimes weird things happen, like the loss of Moominmamma's purse. But, when it's found again—actually someone nabbed ...

My cousin, Diane, has some fascination/connection with Finland, and that's where I first encountered Moomins, from perusing her FaceBook posts. I gather that they are sort of hippo-like forest trolls, or something. No idea, but apparently in Finland they're wildly popular. I read a book by the Moomi...

My cousin, Diane, is always posting things about Moomins on FaceBook. It seems Moomins are some kind of mythical/cartoon creatures beloved by Finnish people. I have a vague feeling that Diane has a kid living in Finland, or perhaps he just works for a Finnish company. Anyway, I thought to read about...

- Ja to wszystko czułam i widziałam kiedy byłam dzieckiem. Tylko zapomniałam. Całkiem zapomniałam. A ona pamiętała i potrafiła opisać tak dokładnie! Nieczęsto można trafić na tak emocjonalną recenzję i zachętę do lektury. Jak więc czują i myślą małe dziewczynki? Odważyłem się sprawdzić. Dziecięc...
