The Moomins are a tight-knit family -- hippo-shaped creatures with easygoing and adventurous outlooks. Jansson's art is pared down and precise, yet it composes beautiful portraits of ambling creatures in fields of flowers or on rock-strewn beaches that recall Jansson's Nordic roots. The comic strip reached adults with its gentle, droll humour. Whimsical but with biting undertones, Jansson's observations of everyday life, including guests who overstay their welcome, modern art, movie stars, and high society, easily caught the attention of an international audience and still resonate today. B/W comic strips. Size: 308 x 222 x 15 cm.
