Moomin: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip, Book Three collects the third volume of Tove Jansson's classic Moomin newspaper strip, originally serialized in the London Evening News starting in 1954.
This installment gathers five interlinked stories set in Moominvalley, including Moomin's infatuation with a damsel in distress, an unseasonable heatwave that turns the valley tropical, a spacecraft crash-landing in Moominmamma's garden, and Moominpappa's ill-fated attempt to become a lighthouse keeper and novelist.
Along the way, various clubs and crazes sweep through the valley, drawing in even the reluctant Moomin and Moominmamma. Jansson's warm, wry storytelling has made the series one of Drawn and Quarterly's best-selling collections since publication began in North America in 2006.
