I was scared of the Moomins when I was a child but I think it is time to revisit them, especially as I have enjoyed other books by Tove Jansson.Cestinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050699324845479257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-83413507319976121072014-09-12T12:56:12.582+01:002014-09-12T12:56:12.582+01:00Fabulous post - thankyou, Piers!

The amount of detail put into it is incredible.Becca McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339982441409936532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-10802708661355796952014-09-12T10:46:11.911+01:002014-09-12T10:46:11.911+01:00Thanks Sue and Penny.
