Moomin Adventures: Book One

The classic comic strip by Tove Jansson and Lars Jansson returns in a brand-new paperback series for a new generation of readers!

Presented in an all-new softcover format that collects the all-ages comics of both Tove Jansson and Lars Jansson, the five-volume Moomin Adventures series introduces these timeless stories to modern fans. The strip’s gentle humor and subtle yet sharp musings on life relay an utterly human existence through the lives of Moomin, Moominmamma, Moominpappa, Snufkin, Little My, Snork Maiden, and more.

Moomin Adventures: Book One kicks off with perhaps the most famous adventure of them all, Moomin on the Riviera, which was adapted into a major animated feature. In Moomin’s Desert Island, the entire Moomin family is stranded on a desert island—the very island their ancestors came from. These tales showcase a charming mix of strips from Finland’s most famous creators, including the seamless transition when Lars Jansson took over the syndication.

When Drawn & Quarterly debuted the Moomin comic strip, it was the first time the work had been published in English since its original appearance in the London Evening News. Now with over 400,000 volumes sold, discover the magic of Moominvalley in its most accessible format yet.
