Description

Instead it focuses on a set of other characters, including Snufkin, who come to live at Moominhouse during the onset of winter whilst its inhabitants are away, and the various interactions which they have with each other. Grandpa-Grumble gets a stomach ache and refuses to take his medicines till the others throw him and the Ancestor a party.

Since Farrar, Straus and Giroux began reissuing the books in 1989, grateful readers old and new have been thrilled to have the stories available again. Throughout the book Jansson seems to be asking herself if she's made a mistake, given people the wrong idea, promised too much that she couldn't deliver.

Snufkin is the coolest character in town - in a letter to Jansson a reader requests a drawing to tattoo on his arm "as a symbol of freedom.

The chilly Groke — the most terrible of monsters, one of the few creatures who is never invited in—freezes everything she touches, and on the ground where she has sat, nothing grows again. Various supporting players from the other Moomin books converge on the Moomins' house, but they're just not there. He screwed up his stubborn, innocent face and repeated loudly: 'I'm making the place look nice, for Moominpappa. It is November, the days are closing in, and no one knows where the Moomins have gone and when they might come back.Luettiin tämä marraskuussa (ja loppuun joulukuun alussa) kumppanin kanssa toisillemme ääneen vuorotellen. However, the Ancestor does not appear, as Grandpa-Grumble had mistaken his own reflection in a mirror upstairs for the Ancestor, to whom he makes everyone give a toast. It was a place where people were always turning up unexpectedly, where sometimes—as Jansson wrote in Finn Family Moomintroll— “unexpected and disturbing things used to happen, but nobody ever had time to be bored, and that is always a good thing. In fact, if there was a love affair between elderly Grandpa-Grumble and the young, hot Mymble, this could be one of Woody Allen's later, unfunny films. Saved by a new duster (‘I shall never use old dusters again’) she enjoys an awakening – momentarily seeing the world from a new angle.
