Ihastuttava tarina eräästä Juhannuksesta!
Super charming and not necessary your classical children's novel (pro crime/ civil disobedience in some - in my opinion justified - regards). I love the underlying philosophy and life attitudes. Never preachy in any sense, but subtle hints at why the momins are living a good life.

this was the perfect way to end summer!! tove jansson never fails to write the most magical and wild stories!! there’s a lesson to be learnt in every moomin book!! also snufkin in this book is just the best with his 24 little children!! <33
Okay, this has to be my favorite Moomin book so far.
Does that have to do with Snufkin being pushed out of his comfort zone and finally showing a little more emotion than usual? Probably. It's just hilarious seeing him navigate something that he's for once not an expert/comfortable at.
That on top of the Moomins taken further out of their comfort zones too, it just makes for a fun read.
A huge flood pours through Moominvalley, covering all of Moominhouse. The Moomins, therefore, need to find a new home (of course, lmao, logically! That's their first and main issue. I love these books). When they find a what they assume is a deserted house floating by, they promptly move in. Little do they know it's a theater owned by a cranky old Fillyjonk! Meanwhile Snufkin and Little My are on their own adventure electrocuting Park Keepers (just a normal day for Snufkin ...).
This is an especially fast read, because I just couldn't get enough. It's a quick page-turner, and I couldn't stop laughing through it all. The illustrations are, as always, stunning, though always improving. I'm so glad I found these books; they're like coming home somehow. I can't wait to read more.

Minulla on Muumi-kertailujen aika, olen hamstrannut niitä autoon äänikirjoina, työmatkat sujuvat rattoisasti. Eihän Muumeista voi olla pitämättä :)
A total joy! How lovely to read a book that you enjoyed as a child and love it just as much or even more as an adult.
