About the Author
Tove Jansson (1914–2001) is revered around the world as one of the foremost children's authors of the twentieth century for her illustrated chapter books about the magical world of her creation, the Moomins. The Moomins saw life in many forms but debuted to the biggest audience ever on the pages of the world's largest newspaper, the London Evening News, in 1954. Jansson was also a visual artist and the author of numerous books.
Review
“Here is where Jansson's weird but true world begins; where fear, loneliness and insecurity are banished by love and the force of imagination.” ―Time
“[Jansson's] work soars with lightness and speed, and her drawings only echo her writing: delicate but precise, observant yet suggestive . . . Jansson was exceptional, an exuberant explorer of emotional independence and interdependence, a liberating force.” ―Los Angeles Times Book Review
“A lost treasure now rediscovered--one of the sweetest, strangest comics strips ever drawn or written. A surrealist masterpiece. Honest.” ―Neil Gaiman, author of Sandman, American Gods and Fragile Things
“Moomin is gorgeous, and is flat out the best Moomin book I've ever seen. Tove Jansson was a natural cartoonist. These strips are clever, gentle, witty, and completely engrossing.” ―Jeff Smith, cartoonist of Bone
