robotswithpersonality's review against another edition

I'm not gonna lie, passive absorption of popular culture meant reading the first Moomins book was a bit of a shock as the story was a bit less standard little kid pablum in narration than I was expecting, and the Moomins don't yet look like the Moomins I've seen on the internet (I believe an animated show was produced as well?). As lovely as the water colour-ish cover is, I wish the pages inside had full colour paintings instead of brown/black sketches and what might be charcoal drawings. You spoiled me with the cover art! Overall I get the long running success of adventures around these creatures. There is an inherent charm.
