Title: Moomin: the complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip Vol. 1 & Vol 2
Author: Tove Jansson
Review:There are two kinds of people in the world, those who love Moomin and those who have never read it. This delightful, enchanting and enthralling comic strip by Swedish - Finnish illustrator Tove Jansson stands out in the graphic novel crowd. The comic strip has been collected in hardcover editions, with volume one being the first in the series. Whimsical, clever and delightful, the Moomin series chronicles the adventures of the friendly troll-like creature Moomin and his quirky friends. The author’s independent view of life, quiet humour and pacifist tendencies all shine through in the odd, unexpected and utterly original stories. It's impossible not to fall in love with Moomin and his friends, so if you’re not familiar with the charm of this classic series, then this comic compilation is the perfect place to start.

I fell into the category of never having read "Moomin", but all this will change as soon as my library hold on this comic comes through. I was enchanted by the YouTube representation of this little fellow, and if the comic is half as good I shall be adding this gentle creature and his mates to my own library. Thank you for introducing me to this brave and adorable little creature.

What a gorgeous YouTube video! Reminded me of "Kimba the White Lion" a much loved series of my childhood. Not having read a graphic novel for a long time I am inspired to look at Moomin. Thanks for the review.

Love the YouTube video. What a wonderful way to introduce people to characters/creatures in a novel.
Loved it!
