Love, love, loved this book. It is one of those books that you read and wonder how on earth you had missed it for all the previous years of your life. I felt like my very soul was being analyzed and explained; makes me wonder if the author happens to be a psychiatrist in her spare time. Beautiful, hilarious, heartwarming insight into human nature. I think it would be much more appreciated by adults, but I'm sure that children would also enjoy these stories. This was the first book by the author that I was able to get ahold of, and I will definitely be gathering all of the others. ( )

Näkymätön Lapsi (Tales from Moominvalley) is a short story collection by Finland's greatest children's writer Tove Jansson.

In this collection she once again shows what a remarkable storyteller she is. Every small story describes one emotion with an eloquence that is rarely matched by authors of children's or adults' books. Jansson's Moomin books are not just for children, and Tales from Moominvalley is one of the best short story collections available, for adults and children. ( )
