Moomin Mischievous Nature - The Comet Edition

Moomin Mischievous Nature - The Comet Edition

YES YES YES! IDEA MOOMIN Mischievous Nature superbook of all the artwork from all nine of Tove Jansson's novels is BACK in a new exclusive COMET EDITION, celebrating 80 years since the release of the second Moomin book Comet in Moominland . Softcover, spiral bound, with a slipcase. And it's red! And there are three new Moomin organic cotton baseball caps to go with it.

All of the original Tove Jansson drawings and artwork for the nine Moomin novels in one book, once more. No words - just pictures. Jansson's extraordinary talent as an illustrator, artist and storyteller is obvious in these 500 illustrations, presented in chronological order across 288 pages. On colour pages or not, every one of them is beautiful.

The book's title, Mischievous Nature , relates to the characters' irreverent behaviour and relationship with the natural world. The new edition has the Comet artwork as its cover on red textured boards and slipcase, plus red plastic spiral binding.

There remains almost no text at all in the book bar one wonderful Tove Jansson quote from Moominland Midwinter on the reverse of the slipcase: There are such a lot of things that have no place in Summer and Autumn and Spring. Everything that's a little shy and a little rum. Some kinds of night animals and people that don't fi t in with others and that nobody really believes in. They keep out of the way all the year and the when everything's quiet and and white and the nights are long and most people are asleep — then they appear.
