In the second volume of Tove Jansson's humorous yet melancholic 'Moomin' comic strip, we get four new stories about jealousy, competition, child rearing, and self-reinvention. The Moomins try to hibernate in the fashion of their ancestors but insomnia places them smack-dab into a winter carnival with the winter-sports-loving Mr. Brisk. The fickle and eternally lovestruck Mymble and Snorkmaiden find themselves in competition over a thrilling new man. Moominmamma meets her new neighbor, the Fillyjonk, causing her to hire the depressed and secretive Misabel as her new maid. Mymble's mother arrives on the Moomin family's doorstep with her seventeen new children. Finally, a prophet arrives on the scene declaring that the happy Moomins are in fact not happy at all and need to get back to nature and be free. Moomin, of course, becomes more and more miserable the freer he gets. Review Quotes:' A lost treasure now rediscovered-- one of the sweetest, strangest comic strips ever drawn or written. A Surrealist masterpiece. Honest. ' -- Neil Gaiman ' [Jansson' s] work soars with lightness and speed, and her drawings only echo her writing: delicate but precise, observant yet suggestive […] Jansson was exceptional, an exuberant explorer of emotional independence and interdependence, a liberating force. ' -- 'Los Angeles Times Book Review'' Moomin is gorgeous, and is flat out the best 'Moomin' book I've ever seen. Tove Jansson was a natural cartoonist. These strips are clever, gentle, witty, and completely engrossing. ' -- 'Jeff Smith, ' cartoonist of 'Bone'
