Get both books in the classic comic strip by Tove Jansson and Lars Jansson's new paperback series from Drawn and Quarterly!
Presented in an all new softcover format that collects the all ages comics of both Tove Jansson and Lars Jansson, the five-volume Moomin Adventures series will introduce the timeless comic strip to a new generation of readers of all ages.
Moomin Adventures: Book One kicks off with perhaps the most famous adventure of them all, Moomin on the Riviera, which was adapted into an animated feature and debuted at the London Film Festival. In Moomin’s Desert Island, the entire Moomin family is stranded on a desert island—the very island their ancestors came from. The Moominvalley hijinx continued with a charming mix of strips from Finland’s most famous writer/artist Tove Jansson, and her brother Lars Jansson who taught himself how to draw in order to take over the strip when it was in syndication.
Moomin Adventures: Book Two 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.
