The Invisible Child and The Fir Tree by Tove Jansson

sarahreffstrup's review against another edition

5.0

Jeg elsker mumitroldene. Det havde jeg faktisk glemt, men det gør jeg.

Jeg er ret træt og brugt for tiden, så da jeg fik valgmuligheden for at læse en børnebog med min ene bogklub, greb jeg gladeligt muligheden, for det virkede ukompliceret.

Jeg tog fejl.

Allerede i den første historie (det er en række noveller), vidste jeg at der ikke var noget ukompliceret ved denne bog. Jeg følte mig ramt og set på en utrolig menneskelig måde, og historien endte helt anderledes end jeg forventede. Det gjorde de alle. Den ene handlede om værdien i at blive vred. VRED! Jeg elsker det! Alle historierne var langt dybere end jeg havde forventet, og hvis al børnelitteratur er sådan, så skal jeg sgu til at læse mere af det.

I bought this a few months ago and saved it to read in the winter. It was very cosy and felt like a childhood bedtime story. The Moomins inhabit such a strange and surreal world and I love the illustrations. I also particularly enjoyed what The Fir Tree said about the spirit of Christmas.
