Moomin on the Riviera

Серия: "-"

A rerelease of the classic comic in honor of the centenary of Tove Jansson's birth As springtime dawns in Moominvalley and the first northern crocus opens, Moominpappa and Snorkmaiden, glamorized by the prospects of movie stars and gambling, insist the whole family take a trip down to the Riviera. Reluctantly Moomin and Moominmamma agree to go along, and the Moomins set off on a grand adventure, complete with butlers, luxury shops, indoor swimming pools, and duels at dawn. With their innocent curiosity about everything, the Moomins prove the perfect foil for the cynical, world-weary residents of the Riviera. Tove Jansson's Moomin on the Riviera is a classic Moomin story reworked in full color, with a kid-friendly size, price, and format. A delight for the whole family!

Jansson, Tove

▪ Finnish author and artist
in full  Tove Marika Jansson 
born August 9, 1914, Helsinki, Finland, Russian Empire
died June 27, 2001, Helsinki, Finland

      Finnish artist and writer-illustrator of children's books (in Swedish). In her books she created the fantastic self-contained world of Moomintrolls (Moomintroll), popular especially in northern and central Europe, although translations in more than 30 languages have provided a worldwide audience.

      Jansson was the daughter of artists, and her illustrations began appearing in children's magazines when she was a teenager. She studied painting in Stockholm, had her first exhibition in 1943, and worked for a time as a children's book illustrator. In Småtrollen och den stora översvämningen (1945; “The Moomins and the Great Flood”) she introduced her hippopotamus-like creatures. The work was praised for its individualistic characters, complicated plots, and sophisticated humour, and eight other Moomin books followed. Jansson also created the comic strip “Moomin,” which ran in the Evening News in London from 1953 to 1960. She won the Stockholm Award for best children's books in 1952, the Selma Lagerlöf Medal in 1953, the International Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1966, and many other honours. Jansson also wrote an autobiography, Bild-huggarens dotter (1968; Sculptor's Daughter), short stories, plays, and adult fiction.
