A celebration of Tove Jansson's legacy, one hundred years after her birth
Tove Jansson's Moomin stories made her one of the most beloved Scandinavian
authors of the twentieth century. Jansson's whimsical tales of Moominvalley
resonate with children for their lighthearted spirit, and with adults for their

centenary of her birth, and Jansson is being honored with events in Japan,

Drawn & Quarterly is joining the festivities by releasing Moomin Deluxe: Volume
One, a slipcased hardcover collection of the complete Tove Jansson-penned Moomin
comic strip,
