Moomintroll and the End of the World : Tove Jansson's First Moomin Comic Strip with Essays on Her Life and Work
63: Tigertext/Ny Tid, 2008. 1st Edition. Softcover. Follow the frightfully exciting adventures of Moomintroll the Muddler, Snufkin and the Snork Maiden, not to mention Thingumy and Bob. Read about the comet that collided with the earth, and about the great flood... Not suitable for very small children! Moomintroll and the End of the World formed Tove Jansson's first Moomin comic strip. She drew it in 1947 and 1948 as a present to her friend Atos Wirtanen and his newspaper Ny Tid.
This book includes the original comic strip and a series of articles that illuminate Jansson's life and work, including an interview with Jansson herself about the creation of Moomintroll and the End of the World. This is the first time any of the material in this Moomin treasure trove has been published in English.
