Reviews for Moominvalley in November

It's not just Tove Jansson's wonderfully strange fairytale world that so appeals but also her beautiful line work and exquisite sense of design. -- Lauren Child Beautiful words. Anarchic illustrations. Tove Jansson is a genius... -- Jenny Downham, author of Before I Die * Books for Keeps * They seem to grow in wisdom and delight every time I read them...a perfect marriage of word and picture. -- Philip Pullman
