Representaion To Books Who Will Comfort Toffle? (Moomin Picture Books)

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.

Judge Of Books Who Will Comfort Toffle? (Moomin Picture Books)
A sweet little story.Three stars might also be enough for this but I think it's deep and the message of trying to have courage is important. It's suitable for anyone from children to adults, which makes it a good book, in my opinion.- -Runomuodossa oleva tarina oli virkistävää vaihtelua romaaneille, joita yleensä luen. Olisihan tämänkin klassikon voinut aiemminkin lukea, mutta en ole tainnut siihen törmätä tarpeeksi usein kun se ei ole koskaan mukaani tarttunut.

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):

From a dear Swedish friend. A treasure.

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

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

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

Absolutely lovely, both the hand-written-like text (I read the Finnish translation), the story, and the pictures. Having been a shy kid like Toffle, I would have needed this story 20 years ago. Well, better late than never!
