Publisher's Synopsis
After the multi-faceted Tove Jannson quit the daily grind of the newspaper comic strip, the reigns were picked up by her younger brother Lars, whoûnot being an artistûfascinatingly taught himself how to draw so that he continue bringing the Moomin charm to millions of readers around the world. He wrote and drew the strip from 1961 to 1974. Without missing a beat, the transition from Tove to Lars is seamless. The delightful and gentle skewering of lifeÆs foibles continue with such antics as Moomin becoming a vegetarian; the genie from a magic lamps brings stolen diamonds; a railway through Moominvalley becomes a rollercoaster and of course, hijinx with international spies invading Moominvalley.
