Moomin Adventures #2

The classic comic strip by Tove Jansson and Lars Jansson in a new paper back 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 quarrelling prophets in “Moomin Begins a New Life,” the Moomins’ quick wit and existential musings never fail to disappoint.

In “Moomin mamma’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 isa bundle of fun, offering a timeless treasure trove of good-hearted whimsy and delight.

The strip’s gentle humour and subtle yet sharp musings on life relay an utterly human existence through the lives of Moomin, Moomin mamma, Moomin pappa, Snufkin, Little My, Snork Maiden, and more.
