 Rating: - More magical Moominalia!This is another collection of hilarious, bizarre, fascinating and unique picture-strips and it is entirely worthy as a companion to book 1. Such riches here, but to tell all would be to spoil. But how can I not mention the masterly linework, the intrisic design, the delicacy of the lunacy, the understated wit: all brought to life through the usual favourites - Moominmamma, dignified in disaster (and delightfully eccentric in her approach to housework), befuddled Moominpappa , the Mymble and her multitudinous kiddies, Fillyjonks, Misabel and of course spiteful Little My? Herein, Moomintroll builds a house with the aid (???) of the Snork Maiden, The Moomins resist hibernation and pine needles to embrace winter - a story that's a little reminiscent of Moominland Midwinter (the full length chapter book), and Moominmamma considers hiring a maid and...and... but enough!!!! Buy this fabulous book, beautifully presented, like book 1, by Drawn and Quarterly. Inside are delights and whimsy I have barely hinted at. More though, for within the pages is the touch of genius, a world that by itself stands true and in it's distracted madness reflects our own all too clearly. Tove Jansson had a rare talent. Who has never met a Fillyjonk or a Hemulen or a Misabel? I know I've met several. I wonder if they would recognise themselves in this book? Take a look and see if you are in there too!
