A review by captlychee
Comet in Moominland by Tove Jansson

4.0

I remember these books fondly from my childhood, and on re-reading them ten years ago, they didn't hold up. But this tiem around, this was just as engaging as the first time I read it in 1971. It's delightful to read books where the characters are still characters, but behave nicely, and where there are no gender issues, but some race issues. You could argue that a Moomin who fancies a Snork is a commentary on mixed race marriage.

I'm looking forward to the happy feelings I got from this one back in the day, and found again now, coming back as I read the other books in the series without having to analyse them.
