Was der Goldene Schnitt ist oder wie ein Wald gemalt werden muss, wie man Künstlerfeste feiert und was man einen Künstler unter keinen Umständen fragen darf - über all das weiß die Tochter des Bildhauers haargenau Bescheid. Kein Wunder - nicht umsonst schläft sie in der elterlichen Atelierwohnung auf dem Schlafregal und behält den Überblick. Sogar im Sommer auf der Schäreninsel sieht das Künstlerauge immer mit, selbst wenn sich die Familie ausgiebig dem Angeln, Pilzesammeln oder dem Toben der Elemente hingibt. Eine faszinierende, eigenwillige Welt tut sich auf. Tove Jansson erzählt die Geschichte ihrer fantastischen Kindheit, von Bürgertum und Bohème, Geborgenheit und Abenteuer gleichermaßen geprägt.

How will the beloved residents of Moominvalley survive a comet? Another classic Moomin story reworked in full color, with a kid-proof but kid-friendly size, price, and format. It''s getting hotter and hotter in Moominvalley, and all the creatures have taken note of the troubling weather. After a mysterious cloud appears in the sky one day, an exodus begins. The Hattifatteners, the Nibling, Mrs. Fillyjonk (and all her children), and even Mymble pack up to leave the valley. When they realize the mysterious cloud is a comet headed straight for Moominhouse, Moomin, Little My, and Snorkmaiden decide to leave their home too. As the clock ticks down and the comet nears Moominvalley, the plot thickens. Between a tidal wave and a comet-struck Moomin, the end does seem nigh, but the day may yet be saved. Tove Jansson''s flawless cartooning is brought to life in a whole new way within these pages. A delight for the whole family!

THE TOVE JANSSON CLASSIC IN A NEW SOFTCOVER FORMAT Due to the resounding success of the hardcover Moomin comics by Tove Jansson and Lars Jansson, D+Q is reissuing this classic comic in an all-new format. Available in an affordable kid-proof but kid-friendly flexicover, and in full color for the first time, these books are slimmer versions of the hardcovers, with one story in each volume while previous editions collected four. Moomin''s Winter Follies Moomin wakes up one morning to find the pond frozen over, and rather than hibernate, the family decides to brave the winter weather. At first, their wintry adventure seems to be going swimmingly, until Mr. Brisk of the Great Outdoors Club takes over and forces everyone to embrace the winter sports, whether they want to or not.

In the deep winter snows of a Swedish hamlet, a strange young woman fakes a break-in at the house of an elderly artist in order to persuade her that she needs companionship. But what does she hope to gain by doing this? And who ultimately is deceiving whom? In this portrayal of two women grappling with truth and lies, nothing can be taken for granted. By the time the snow thaws, both their lives will have changed irrevocably.

This newly translated collection of stories brilliantly evokes the shifting scenes and restlessness of summer. A professor arrives in a beautiful Spanish village only to find that her host has left and she must cope with fractious neighbours alone; a holiday on a Finnish Island is thrown into disarray when a disconcerting young boy arrives; an artist returns to an old flat to discover that her life has been eerily usurped. Philosophical and profound, but with the deceptive lightness that is her hallmark, Travelling Light is guaranteed to surprise and transport.

Moomin has been swiftly making its way into the hearts of North Americans ever since Drawn & Quarterly began collecting the strip in 2006. It debuted in the London Evening News in 1954 and has become the fastest-selling D+Q series to date. Fifty years ago, Tove Jansson''s observations of everyday life-whimsical but with biting undertones-easily caught the attention of an international audience and still resonate today. This third volume returns to Moominvalley, where its beloved inhabitants get tangled up in five new stories. Moomin falls in love with a damsel in distress, an unseasonably warm spell turns the valley into a tropical rain forest, and a flying saucer crashes into Moominmamma''s garden. Moominpappa decides to live out his dream of occupying a lighthouse and writing a great seaside novel, only to discover that he hates the sea so close up and has no interest in writing about it, and a variety of curious clubs spring up in the valley. Moomin and Moominmamma do their level best to avoid the whole mess but, of course, get drawn into the muddle.

Includes four comic strips featuring Moomin, a teenage troll who looks like a hippopotamus and passively deals with life''s troubles; including "Moomin''s Winter Follies," "Moomin Mamma''s Maid," "Moomin Builds a House," and "Moomin Begins a New Life."

¿Por qué sólo los muy jóvenes o los muy viejos tienen tiempo de preguntarse cómo es el cielo? Leyendo este maravilloso libro de la escritora Tove Jansson viviremos, durante varios veranos, la estrecha e intensa relación de Sofía con su octogenaria abuela en una isla salvaje del Golfo de Finlandia, reflexionaremos con ellas sobre el mar, la luz, los animales, pescaremos, dormiremos en cabañas, exploraremos la isla y nos adentraremos en sus secretos, escucharemos las historias que se inventan para explicar los misterios que las circundan y, poco a poco, iremos descubriendo ;en un continuo diálogo entre nieta y abuela salpicado de ocurrencias; sentimientos que creíamos olvidados, para, sin apenas darnos cuenta, volver a tener tiempo de preguntarnos cómo es el cielo: «¿Hay hormigas en el cielo?».
