A SCANDINAVIAN MIDCENTURY CLASSIC BACK IN PRINT

Who Will Comfort Toffle? is the timeless, magical tale of the wistful wallflower, Toffle–too shy to speak to anyone and too fearful of the world he is watching from afar. Lonely and sad, Toffle runs away from home and watches the magical cast of Moomin Valley—Mymble, My, Snufkin, the merry whompses and the Fillyjonk—celebrate and enjoy life. His insecurity continues to only serve his isolation until he has the courage to overcome his fears by reaching out to another frightened introvert, the mesmerizing Miffle. Who Will Comfort Toffle? is an endearing, introspective story that will speak to readers of all ages—anyone who has ever needed a friend to pull them out of their shell.

Joining Drawn & Quarterly’s archival series of Moomin The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip, Moomin, Mymble & Little My, and the Moomintroll chapter books is the glorious reprinting of the Tove Jansson classic children’s book Who Will Comfort Toffle? with a loving translation by British poet Sophie Hannah.

Commentary Regarding Books Who Will Comfort Toffle? (Moomin Picture Books)

as a kid I didn't enjoy it but now it's decent

This is one of the best picture books ever written. The story is told in rhyme and because it is translated the poetry can be awkward at times and the translator is not quite up to the task.The story is about Toffle who goes looking for someone to be comforted by and ends up finding a Mymble to be comforted by after many adventures. The book has a large amount if text for a picture book. Its illustrations are complex and can occupy a child while the text is being read.Tove Jansson was a genius

About courage and fellowship. Cute and important little book with unbeatable rhymes. Love!

This wonderful book tells the story of Toffle who is so shy he cannot bear to spend another night in his house so packs his case and runs away. The rhyming text takes us through the world Toffle inhabits, where we spot many familiar Moomin creatures in colours I would expect to dislike but am strangely attracted to here, ginger brown, a dark baby blue, olive green, yellow, peachy pink, red and grey. Toffle moves away from the hustle and bustle to find Snufkin playing his silver flute in summer's

This short, lavishly illustrated narrative poem is a testament to Jansson's genius. This tale of Knytt is a loving one that touches upon shyness and depression, and the courage required to overcome it. The backdrop is the always colourful Moomin valley with its great characters and perfect balance between cosiness and the awe and fear before the overwhelming forces of nature.

SWEDISH REVIEW further down! This was not just a book, this was an experience.I marvel every time I read something by [author Tove Jansson | 45230], by how much I actually admire and love her writing. Her way of writing and describing, she paints feelings with words. I didn't even react to the fact that the whole book was in rhyme, for it seemed so natural in the story.Should perhaps add that I never read this before, not now either. I listened to it (in Swedish):

I loved this book when I was a little kid and just recently read it again. I never realized how much it influenced me.
