Moomin and the Brigands

“Here is where Jansson’s weird but true world begins; where fear, loneliness and insecurity are banished by love and the force of imagination.” –Time

“[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

“A lost treasure now rediscovered—one of the sweetest, strangest comics strips ever drawn orwritten. A surrealist masterpiece. Honest.” –NeilGaiman, author of Sandman, American Godsand Fragile Things

“Moomin is gorgeous, and isflat 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
