I've enjoyed it so far, but I'm just not in the mood to continue this at the moment.

Con este libro llegué a comprobar la hipótesis que había hecho al leerme Comet In Moominland, que era de que me iban a encantar todas las historias que leyera de Tove Jansson.

A pesar de recién terminar la tercera historia de la saga de los Moomins puedo decir que no me han dejado de encantar estos libros, me hacen muy feliz

My favourite of the Moomin books. The Hobgoblin's Hat has some scary effects, but all ends well for everyone. What moved me then and still does now is the plight of the Snorkmaiden and its resolution, which I won't spoil for you here.

In these politically correct times, it's also good to see a male Hemulen wearing a dress.

Great for children to read because it's more concerned with kindness, childhood and family than empowerment and sexualisation, and it isn't old-fashioned (Moominpappa has a radio and tunes in American dance music). The illustratins are also very good, and I remember them fondly.
