ancunin's review against another edition
5.0
This book is like a hot cup of tea and a warm candlelit room. It's the perfect read to make the dark and chilly late autumn feel more cozy and right. Even though the Moomin family isn't really in this book I loved how their spirit brought this strange group of people together. Tove Jansson manages to show how, no matter how different we might be, we can still find comfort and peace in each other's company.

Moominvalley in November was a charming read, full of a good fall atmosphere. I've heard about Jansson's stuff for years, but for whatever reason I never thought to look for Moomin books at the library -- and then I saw this one sitting there, cover out, in the YA section.
It took me a little while to warm up to it, between the writing and the unfamiliar characters, but by the time I got to Fillyjonk I was hooked.
Rabbit read this one too: I left it on the table and she saw it and read a chapter then declared it "weird." I said OKAY and didn't bother trying to dissuade her, and then two days later, after seeing me read it off and on, she decide she wanted to read it, after all.

Le souffle, la lueur, la chaleur, le rêve et la vie tiennent en quelques mots de Tove Jansson.

Aivan ihana ja kaihoisa, mutta kaipasin kyllä muumiperhettä ja Myytä.

veel üks muumiraamat täiskasvanutele; seda minu lapsepõlves eesti keeles polnud, lugesingi alles kahekümnendates esimest korda. mulle on alati väga meeldinud, mis siis, et kõik on nii november seal. ja eriti tore ju, et ongi muumiraamat ilma ühegi muumita (need on samal ajal üksikul saarel, vt "Muumipapa ja meri").
ma olen muidu suur Nuuskmõmmiku austaja, aga selles loos siin on temalgi oma mured ja kompleksid lahendada ja "täiskasvanuks toas" tundub olevat hoopis Mymla. ülejäänud tegelased on üldse mingid peretuttavad, kellest enne ega pärast pole midagi kuuldud. kõik tulevad Muumiorgu midagi otsima ja leiavad ka lõpuks, aga muidugi pigem enda seest, nagu see ikka läheb.

Oh. This is my favourite Moomin book, and strangely I've never read it before. I don't think we even had it when I was growing up because I read the others! It's emotionally complex, multifaceted, and absolutely beautiful. I was surprised.
