Moominvalley in November by Tove Jansson
5.0
This is probably my favorite of the Moomin books and it is definitely the darkest and most introspective.
The small orphan Toft, the loud and organizing Hemulen, the worrying Fillyjonk, the cranky Grandpa-Grumble, the Mymble and Snufkin all converge on the Moomin's house, seeking the comfort and warmth of the Moomin family only to find it desrted and the family gone.
As autumn sinks into winter the characters sink into themselves, lost and worried until finally, they find a way to get along and then go their separate ways.
Touching and sad and wonderful.
