Moomin Book Three Av Tove Jansson

<p><i>Moomin </i>has been swiftly making its way into the hearts of North Americans ever since Drawn & Quarterly began collecting the strip in 2006. It debuted in the <i>London Evening News </i>in 1954 and has become the fastest-selling D+Q series to date. Fifty years ago, Tove Jansson''s observations of everyday life-whimsical but with biting undertones-easily caught the attention of an international audience and still resonate today. <br><br>This third volume returns to Moominvalley, where its beloved inhabitants get tangled up in five new stories. Moomin falls in love with a damsel in distress, an unseasonably warm spell turns the valley into a tropical rain forest, and a flying saucer crashes into Moominmamma''s garden. Moominpappa decides to live out his dream of occupying a lighthouse and writing a great seaside novel, only to discover that he hates the sea so close up and has no interest in writing about it, and a variety of curious clubs spring up in the valley.
