Jansson had a studio in Helsinki but spent most of her time at her home on a small island called Klovharu.Product DescriptionEnhanced with Tove Jansson's simple, sprightly drawings, this series of delightful stories about life in Moomin Valley has enchanted audiences around the world for more than 70 years.Before he had a family, Moominpappa led a life of adventure and intrigue. But he's never told his story until now. He has a bad cold, and it's the perfect time to remember his youthful endeavors and to ponder the experiences which have made him the remarkable Moomin he is.ReviewThere is, in short, everything in the Moon books: giant comets and secret caves and tree houses and stilts and magic-carpet clouds and amusement parks run by despotic practical-joking kings and time machines and ski instructors. -Harper'sWe need Moominland for its gentle pace, its sense of beauty and awe, and its spirit of friendliness and empathy-now more than ever. -The Horn BookThese charming fantasies are propelled by a childlike curiosity and filled with quiet wisdom, appealing geniality, and a satisfying sense of self-discovery. -School Library Journal.comIf you had no shame reading Harry Potter on the subway, there's no need to hide Tove Jansson's witty, whimsically illustrated Finnish series. -Daily CandyThe Moomin books make for both splendid bedtime read-alouds and solitary savoring. -Wall Street JournalIt's more than forty years since Jansson's Moomintrolls first appeared. I found the writing and invention as appealing as ever. She has a thistledown touch. -The Washington Post Book WorldThe adventures of the easygoing Moomintrolls have all the crispness and tart surprise of a lingonberry, thanks to Jansson's ineffably light touch, her uncanny sensitivity to universal childhood emotions, and her gift for terse, naturalistic dialogue. -Entertainment WeeklyA gentle, offbeat fantasy. -The Horn BookA lost treasure now rediscovered . . . A surrealist masterpiece. -Neil GaimanJansson was a genius of a very subtle kind. These simple stories resonate with profound and complex emotions that are like nothing else in literature for children or adults: intensely Nordic, and completely universal. -Philip PullmanTove Jansson is undoubtedly one of the greatest children's writers there has ever been. She has the extraordinary gift of writing books that are very clearly for children, but can also be enjoyed when the child, like me, is over sixty and can still find new pleasures with the insights that come from adulthood. -Sir Terry PratchettClever, gentle, witty, and completely engrossing. -Jeff Smith, author of BoneIt's not just Tove Jansson's wonderfully strange fairytale world that so appeals but also her beautiful line work and exquisite sense of design. -Lauren Child[Tove Jansson] is a master. -The Times Literary Supplement (London)The most original works for children to be published since the Pooh books, and possibly, since Alice. -Saturday ReviewYou will declare yourself a citizen of Moominvalley and call the stories your own--the Moomin world is that compelling. -Riverbank ReviewExcerpt.
