I like that book. There was a line that stuck with me, something like "she thinks I've never experienced anything, though I see the end of the world every day and still have to keep doing normal things" (the actual quote was much better, but I don't have the book on hand).

I think my favorite stories were the one about the invisible child and the one where Moominpappa followed the hattifatteners.

'The Fillyjonk Who Believed in Disasters'!

I read that story when I was, maybe, eight or so years old? I didn't really understand why it "clicked" for me, but it basically haunted me for years. Then I read it again as an adult diagnosed with anxiety-related issues and it was like a punch in the gut.

Although as a crabby old antisocial git, I now relate at least as strongly to 'The Hemulen Who Loved Silence'.

I nearly always have this book on hand.

"Gaffsie is a jackass, she thought. A silly woman with cakes and pillow-slips all over her mind. And she doesn't know a thing about flowers. And least of all about me. Now she's sitting at home thinking that I haven't ever experienced anything. I, who see the end of the world every day, and still I'm going on and putting on my clothes, and taking them off again, and eating and washing-up the dishes and receiving visits, just as if nothng ever happened!"

That is a really cool quote. I want to read this now.

[scripsi]

I agree with you!

I haven't read this book, but I did go through a Moomin phase a few years ago where I read two books and one collection of the comic strip, and I did fall in love with Moomins.

So now I'm considering tracking down this book...

[(Anonymous)]

That is not a controversial statement, it's what its readers usually claim. It's an all-ages' classic.

[(Anonymous)]

It is still a little kids' book though, and OP is being all pretentious about studying literature and whatnot.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Don't you think it could be the other way around, and that's why it's a secret? I also studied literature, and while my university was very acceptant of different perspectives and sources, a friend studying at another university was pretty much told that she WOULD do her dissertation on Shakespeare, because anything ~avant-garde~ like, say, 21st-Century Lit, was way out of the field of reference for the supervisors, and they wouldn't help her if she tried.

Meanwhile I wrote mine based on a shitty fourth-gen fansub.

Probably the deepest book in the world is Moominvalley in November

[malurette]

Curse the different titles for the different translations, I don't know if I read this one or not. I should definitely track down and re/read more Moomin books... next time my stack of children's books runs low.

[(Anonymous)]

I loved these books when I was a kid! I didn't think anybody but me remembered them!

[(Anonymous)]

Anybody but you, the OP, and the entire population of the Nordic countries :)

Ooh a Moomin secret :D
Have you read Tove Jansson's non-Moomin short stories? I remember coming across some, and they were very impressive as well.
