Comet in Moominland, by Tove Jansson
(Puffin, £4·99)
Moomin is a peculiar fellow, but through him and his equally peculiar friends the Finnish author Tove Jansson explores the big issues: friendship, alienation, fear, loss and meteors from outer space.
That’s where we got it. Tove Jansson was part of the Swedish-speaking Finnish minority. I point this out because it’s a Swedish-Norwegian-Danish name, not a Finnish one.
A book by Tove!
