These simple stories resonate with profound and complex emotions that are like nothing else in literature for children or adults: intensely Nordic, and completely universal." - Philip Pullman "Tove Jansson is undoubtedly one of the greatest children's writers there has ever been. A surrealist masterpiece." - Neil Gaiman "Jansson was a genius of a very subtle kind. She has a thistledown touch." - The Washington Post Book World "The adventures of the easygoing Moomintrolls have all the crispness and tart surprise of a lingonberry, thanks to Jansson's ineffably light touch, her uncanny sensitivity to universal childhood emotions, and her gift for terse, naturalistic dialogue." - Entertainment Weekly "A gentle, offbeat fantasy." - The Horn Book "A lost treasure now rediscovered. I found the writing and invention as appealing as ever. "There is, in short, everything in the Moon books: giant comets and secret caves and tree houses and stilts and magic-carpet clouds and amusement parks run by despotic practical-joking kings and time machines and ski instructors." - Harper's "We need Moominland for its gentle pace, its sense of beauty and awe, and its spirit of friendliness and empathy-now more than ever." - The Horn Book "These charming fantasies are propelled by a childlike curiosity and filled with quiet wisdom, appealing geniality, and a satisfying sense of self-discovery." - School Library "If you had no shame reading Harry Potter on the subway, there's no need to hide Tove Jansson's witty, whimsically illustrated Finnish series." - Daily Candy "The Moomin books make for both splendid bedtime read-alouds and solitary savoring." - Wall Street Journal "It's more than forty years since Jansson's Moomintrolls first appeared. Along the way, they have many adventures, but the greatest adventure of all awaits them when they learn that the comet is headed straight for their beloved Moominvalley. When Moomintroll learns that a comet will be passing by, he and his friend Sniff travel to the Observatory on the Lonely Mountains to consult the Professors.
