Who Will Comfort Toffle?: Tove Jansson

An uplifting story, full of love, by the brilliant Tove Jansson.

Moomins book, what's not to like!Beautiful illustrations

This book is really attractively produced and shows off Tove Jansson's gorgeous, richly coloured illustrations beautifully. There are multiple stunning double-page spreads that you'll almost want to frame, and the whole thing has a charming mid-century style. The translated verse reads very well and the story is typically strange and sweet. It would make as good a gift for an art/design-loving adult as it does for a child.

Here is the second, of three, Moomin picture books written and illustrated by Tove Jansson.Lonely Toffle, who can't hellp but fall in love with, leaves home and goes on a journey full of adventures, to find his future happiness.Jansson's poem is translated by Sophie Hannah, who used Silvester Mazzarella's literal translation but the main draw of the book is Jansson's artwork, especially her use of vibrant colour.A joy!

If you haven't read this book you really should! Beautiful poem about life and about being shy. Fantastic illustrations.

Not wanting to repeat other reviews of this book...It's wonderful for so many more reasons too. About A4 in size and has lovely matt finished paper pages & the cover too, that you just can't help but want to stroke!!!Excellent illustrations, magical story, a good size & feel appeal - what more could you ask for?

cute tale and the quality of the product was perfect, I'm very happy

Love all things Moomin.
