Jansson's simple language,comic gift and down to-earth relation of odd events all remind one of Milne.
The Moomins originated in Sweden,found their way to England,and have now,happily,crossed the Atlantic.One couldn't ask for more engaging citizens.
Even the Moomin family need a change of scenery sometimes,so they're off to live in a lighthouse on a tiny island. As Pappa,Mamma,Moomintroll,Little My,and the icy Groke discover their new home-facing wind,wave,and weather of all sorts--they also discover surprising,and surprisingly funny,things about themselves.
