Moomin Book One : The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip

Moomin: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip - Book One is the first volume in a series collecting the newspaper comic strips that introduced Tove Jansson's beloved Moomin characters to adult readers around the world, syndicated from 1954 onward.

This volume gathers the earliest strips, drawn and written by Jansson herself before her brother Lars later took over the series, marking their first collected publication in North America.

Rendered in Jansson's precise, elegant linework and set against gentle Nordic landscapes, the strips follow the easygoing, hippo-like Moomin family through gently satirical scrapes involving overstaying house guests, modern art, and the pursuits of high society and celebrity.

Whimsical on the surface but quietly sharp underneath, the strips have won over readers of all ages since their original publication.
