Moomin Deluxe: Volume One (Hardcover)

A celebration of Tove Jansson's legacy, one hundred years after her birth!

Tove Jansson's Moomin stories made her one of the most beloved Scandinavian authors of the twentieth century. Her whimsical tales of Moominvalley resonate with children for their lighthearted spirit, and with adults for their incisive commentary on the banality of everyday life. The year 2014 marks the centenary of her birth, and Jansson is being honored with events across the globe.

Drawn & Quarterly is joining the festivities by releasing Moomin Deluxe: Volume One, a slipcased hardcover collection of the complete Tove Jansson-penned Moomin comic strip, replete with all of her most popular storylines and original pencil sketches. It has been more than sixty years since the Moomin comic strip debuted in the London Evening News. By the end of its run, it was syndicated in more than forty newspapers and hailed for its charming, light-handed stories.

This definitive volume celebrates the classic comics the world adores and features an exclusive essay about Tove's work on the Moomin strip. A must-have for any collector!
