Ollappa yhtä kekseliäs kun muumit ja hauska kun Pikku Myy. Ihana kirja taas kerran!

I finally got around to reading another one of the moomin books and I loved it so much! I completely forgot that this is the part where Snufkin accidentally adopts a ton of children and I loveed that part of the story so much,

The characters are good too - though I was surprised to see Misebel in this book - the story is really similar to what I remember from cartoon and it's short, but it's still full of action and things happening- it's never boring.

More strange than whimsical. Not my favorite but still a classic. Standard Moomin logic.

This was my very first Moomin book, and it was quite alright and enjoyable. I think I may have expected a bit too much, but I just love the moomins. And Snufkin was absolutely adorable, he's always been my favorite. I will definitely be reading/listening to the others!

Sometimes I crave light reading.

The Moomin-series delivers light reading with excellent writing.

Just consider this sentence:

"He swam straight to the pantry
and managed to open the door. Inside the water was white with milk, with a few specks of loganberry jam thrown in. A couple of loaves of bread passed him slowly, followed by a school of macaroni."

Do you have goosebumps too?

Stāsti par trollīšiem Muminiem ir mana bērnība - mamma tos man lasīja priekšā no žurnāla Murzilka un tulkoja. No šī stāsta es neatceros tieši nevienu vārdu, bet perfekti atceros bildi, kurā trollītis Mumins nirst augšā no ēdamistabas ar krūzītēm un kafijas kannu. Iespējams, tolaik man šis stāsts ar milzu plūdiem šķita pārāk satraucošs. Ar šodienas acīm es to, protams, vērtēju citādi un sajūsminos par ģeniālo Muminu ģimeni, kas tā pa īstam neko daudz neņem galvā. Atnāk cunami un pārplūst visa māja? Nekas, ir iespēja saskaldīt malkā visnemīļāko krēslu, lai uzvārītu kafiju. Un lai ko Muminbērns būtu pastrādājis tādu, ka viņu vajā policija, Muminmāmiņa zina, ka viņai tas pastrādātais patiktu.

- Vai tu patiešām tik briesmīgi sēro pēc viņiem? - Bailulis līdzcietīgi jautāja.
- Nē, tikai mazdrusciņ, - Misa atbildēja. - Taču es izmantoju gadījumu un raudu par visu, ja nu man reiz ir iemesls.

Kiiva etä nähre kaikki kuvat joka tunistan. Mielenkintonen kirja.

A flood disrupts life in Moominvalley, but brings along an intriguing new home for them -- which turns out to be a theatre. Of course they have to put on a show, which does not turn out as planned but is enjoyed by everybody anyway. A pleasant little diversion.
