This is the first ever Moomin book. It is also the last of Tove Jannson's Moomin works that I have read (I haven't read all of her brother Lars version of the comic strip). It's also the worst of the Moomin works, but saying that being the worst Moomin work is not exactly saying it is terrible. I...

Over the course of a long Finnish winter, both characters use each other, take f...

Opowiadania dla dorosłych, napisane w niezwykły sposób. Niedopowiedzenia i kruchość wydarzeń, sprawiała, że długo nosiłam ją przy sobie. Tak, bym w każdej chwili mogła do niej zajrzeć.
I ran across this book and I supposed that the Gods were telling me to read it again. It is generally considered one of the best Moomin books, although I would only rank it myself somewhere in the middle. However, as I think Tove Jansson is a genius that means that the book is still an excellent b...

It has none of the satire of either of the former but it does have the same bizarre, delightful, magical world of strange creatures and peculiar adventure...
Tales from Moominvalley is well, a collection of short stories. :D BUT one of them is about Christmas. “The Fir Tree.” And if I could give more than five stars to this short story, I would. All the stars for “The Fir Tree.” :D My synopsis: since the Moomins and most of their friends hibernate al...
