The Moomins The World Of Moominvalley

Beautiful book. If you want all the lore from the original moomin books organised amidst a trove of Tove’s own illustrations, this is all you need.There is also a large biography of Tove’s life at the back of the book. It includes many photographs and older illustrations.I own a lot of art/lore books of various literary, film and video game franchises and i’ve not cone across one put together so thoughtfully and with as much love for its subject as this one.I give this the highest of recommendations.

My 7-year-old son loves these stories and characters; see the Tove Jansson books elsewhere on Amazon. The books communicate interesting and beneficial values and thoughts about life. And a bit of science and engineering as well. And, my son says "you never know what's going to happen next." He likes that.

She was overjoyed and is thoroughly reading, reviewing and re-reviewing. Good delivery from England.

Excellent , it arrived fast , and its so cool

i liked the authors attitude toward the world and her drawings

An absolute joy and must have for any Moomin afficianado.

It is good book and well done, but it is not actual set of books in one book. So I was thinking it is all books in one, it is not.

Lovely book, well written and interesting. Have enjoyed reading and learning about Tove and the moomins

Great quality, even holding it in hands is a pleasure. And it's a very enjoyable reading.Bought it as a present, but could not part with it... had to buy a second one:)

O tamanho é maior do que eu esperava, conteúdo é ótimo e recomendo a compra.Todos deveriam ler sobre o trabalho de Tove ao menos uma vez.

Sehr liebevoll gestaltetes Buch mit Informationen zu allen Charakteren und zur Autorin. Ein Schmuckstück im Bücheregal.

This book is so wonderful. I bought it for my mum as I know she would appreciate this. A friend of mine recently put a post on Instagram containing an extract from one of the Moomin books and it brought back memories of moomins from when I was at school. The Moomins were just slightly after my time - I was 12/13 years old when the animated Moomins first came to the UK so just at the age where kids tv didn’t appeal so much but I did watch some of it and I remember it being repeated again a few years later and I always liked them just like I like the Clangers from when I was a child. Seeing the extract of the book that my friend posted, really made me want to read the Moomins and when I searched for books this came up. It would serve as a wonderful and beautiful introduction to any child or adult to discover the wonderful Moomins. It definitely definitely serves as a beautiful introduction to all the characters and therefore could be a wonderful present for anybody who does not remember or was not around when the Moomins were popular (Well I am discovering that they really have never lost their popularity). It’s the kind of book you can dip into again and again. It has gorgeous illustrations, lovely snippets of information and is set out wonderfully into different chapters and themes. It is very absorbing and entertaining and I love it. I obviously had to buy one for myself and I also ordered another copy which is still at home. I am just pondering who to send it to you. I think it takes a particular kind of person who would love this book and I can’t wait to gift it to someone.
