Tove Jansson is one of the greatest children's writers there has ever been.
- Sir Terry Pratchett,
I was utterly blown away by this as a child. It transported me to an icy, magical world.
- Maggie O'Farrell,
I love these editions - so beautifully produced, so solid and permanent, just as Tove Jansson deserved
- Philip Pullman,
(These editions) are simply stunning, and an absolute must-read. The Moomin novels are timeless stories full of adventure and heartwarming values - perfect for Christmas.
The Bookseller
I love Moominland Midwinter for its evocation of winter as both heady and sinister ... Read as a child for wonder and laughter, read as an adult for perception-changing clarity of insight.
- Stef Penney, for the Guardian's best books on life outdoors,
