Moomin Adventures: Book 3




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 best 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.

The Moomins are at it again in this third installment of the series! First, Moominpappa drags the whole family to a haunted lighthouse in “Moomin and the Sea,” to pursue his dream of writing a novel, and later he’s accidentally embroiled in a web of spycraft with his pal Wimsy in “Moominpappa and the Spies.” But the escapades don’t stop there, we follow the family as they contend with a series of gossipy and troublesome unwanted houseguests in “Moomin Winter,” and we see Snorkmaiden travel back in time to revolutionary France, perpetually in search of her prince charming, in “Snorkmaiden Goes Rococo.” Together, these stories offer the perfect balance of cheeky snark and good-natured fun, and the perfect introduction to Moominvalley for new readers of all ages.

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.

Tove Jansson was born in Finland in 1914. She began her career as a cartoonist and went on to write and illustrate many books for adults and children. She drew her first Moomin in the 1930s, just for fun, and in 1945 he became a character in a children'story.

During the winter months Tove lived and worked in Helsinki, but in the summertime she stayed on a beautiful remote island in the Gulf of Finland with her long-term partner, the artist Tuulikki Pietilä. Tove Jansson received many prestigious awards during her lifetime, including the international Hans Christian Andersen Medal. She died in 2001, aged eighty-seven.
