I'm not sure which of Tove Jansson's Moomin novels I've actually read; I know I've read most if not all of the comic versions, thanks to Cardiff Library, but the novels so far have been sort of half-familiar. I think I have read this first one, The Moomins and the Great Flood before, because some of the episodes definitely felt familiar, down to the phrasing -- like the marabou stork and his glasses -- but in the end... who knows?
It was a fun revisit, all the same, even if it feels like the world isn't fully set up yet in the final configuration (does Sniff get named at all in this? I don't think so). If I recall rightly, it's pretty skippable, but I'm glad I didn't: I always like to see where things began.
It's a bit of a madcap ride, really, from one random event to the other, but it's charming all the same.

This was nice. It’s a hell of a thing to read after finishing Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.
