moomin comic strip to be reprinted!!

The first eight are storylines from the strip, I think. Who Will Comfort Toffle? is not a comic but a kids' picture book, it's really pretty. Not sure about the last one, it might be another picture book? Tove made a handful of those, they have these lavish illustrations and were really cool to read as a kid.

excellent, thanks

Yeah, I think the last one is another picture book. I remember fruitlessly searching for the last two at the library a couple of years back.

Who Will Comfort Toffle? is amazingly poignant and beautiful! Kids' picture book in the Moomin universe; the Groke features and the Moominfamily/Snorkmaiden appear at a distance iirc but it's I guess not quite a Moomin book per se

wondering which translation it is as a new one came out a few years ago

sorry, no idea about the others but will be keeping my eyes open for them

Ah, okay now I know what "The Book About Moomin, Mymble and Little My" is, it's another picture book, also very beautiful! The catch in that book is that there's always a hole in each page, showing something from the next/previous page spread, and the hole is integrated into the art and story, so the characters are following the wholes from one spread to another.

You can see some pages of it if you google the Finnish title.

aw man I totally need that!

That sounds awesome!

Likewise re Googling, the Swedish title of Who Will Comfort Toffle? offers some pages and there's even a Swedish musical animated version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSYkx3OYixA

(don't watch the whole thing if you don't want the plot spoiled I guess, but you're probably fine to skip through the first 16-17 minutes)

The Book About Moomin, Mymble and Little My is great - my daughter loves it, though the carefully cut pages are vulnerable to her poking at the various holes, gaps, pipes,etc, the characters crawl through

waht
