"Tove Jansson is revered around the world as one of the foremost
children�s authors of the twentieth century for her illustrated chapter
books regarding the magical worlds of her creation, the Moomins. The
Moomins saw life in many forms but debuted to the biggest audience ever
on the pages of the world�s largest newspaper, the London Evening News,
in 1954. The strip was syndicated in newspapers around the world with
millions of readers in forty countries. The Drawn & Quarterly
reprints (which began in 2006) are the first time the strip has been
published in any form in North America, and they have deservedly
reclaimed Jansson�s place among the international cartooning greats of
the last century. To date there are seven hardcover volumes of the
Moomin comic strip, with over 100,000 units in print, two childrens
reprints�The Book About Moomin, Mymble and Little My and Who Will
Comfort Toffle�as well as a biography of how Tove and Lars Jannson
became cartoonists, Moomin Every Day. These D+Q Moomin books join the
internationally loved Moomin chapterbooks by F.S.G. and the reissued
Moomin kids books by Puffin."
