Description
The classic comic strip by Tove Jansson and Lars Jansson in a new paperback series. When D&Q debuted the Moomin comics in 2007, it was the first time that the strip had been published in English since its original appearance in the London Evening News. The series has since gone on to sell 400,000 copies. Now presented in an all-new softcover format that collects the comics of both Tove Jansson and Lars Jansson, the Moomin Adventures series will introduce these timeless classics to a new generation of readers of all ages. This volume is jam-packed with classic Moomin antics and shenanigans. Whether it s setting up finicky ghosts on a blind date in 'Moomin and the Farm,' or becoming devout followers of quarreling prophets in 'Moomin Begins a New Life,' the Moomins quick wit and existential musings never fail to disappoint. In 'Moominmamma s Maid,' Misabel the maid must conquer her fears and learn to do as the Moomins do, turning everything into a pleasure. In 'Moomin Builds a House,' the fabulous Little My delights us with her naughtiness, even as she drives the Moomins up the walls. Every story in this collection is a bundle of fun, offering a timeless treasure trove of good-hearted whimsy and delight. The strip s gentle humor and subtle yet sharp musings on life relay an utterly human existence through the lives of Moomin, Moominmamma, Moominpappa, Snufkin, Little My, Snork Maiden, and more.
