I laughed, I cried... it moved me, Bob.
No, but for real, I was so full of gladness I literally cried through the last three chapters. It’s beautiful. Tove Jansson UNDERSTANDS.

This will always be my favourite book about the Mumins ❤️

There's just something about the way Tove Jansson wrote that combines weirdness and serenity that just scratches an itch in my brain that I didn't know existed. This entire series is just something I didn't know I needed to read. This one is about how our main characters found themselves in a floating theater when a flood swept over Moominvalley. It's just absurd, and speaking of absurd, feels like there are more absurdities here (one of them is about the hattifnattarnas, and it's quite disturbing) compared to the previous books, and it still worked. Another great entry.
