Critics Review
-
They seem to grow in wisdom and delight every time I read them...a perfect marriage of word and picture

I have long been a passionate Moomin appreciator - it's not just Tove Jansson's wonderfully strange fairytale world that so appeals but also her beautiful line work and exquisite sense of design
