(15 Posts)
I demand a flake of advice here, please. I've but bought a set up of Moomin books for DD from The Book People. At that place's six in the set - Comet in Moominland, The Exploits of Moominpappa, Moominsummer Madness, Moominland Midwinter, Tales from Moominvalley, Moominvalley in November.
Looking them up on Goodreads, there seem to be at least 2 other books which I don't have - The Moomins and the Great Overflowing and Finn Family Moomintroll. The Great Inundation is the start i I call up, then we'll need to get that asap. How many are there in the serial?
Can someone list the books in the correct club for me, please, as I'm confused 
.
And, also tin can they be read out of gild and does information technology thing if we kickoff with one of the ones we already have and then come dorsum to the ones we haven't got? Or do they need to exist read in lodge?
The order of the books is:
The books in the series, in club, are:
1.The Moomins and the Great Overflowing (Originally: Småtrollen och den stora översvämningen) – 1945.
2.Comet in Moominland, Some editions: The Happy Moomins - (Originally: Kometjakten/Kometen kommer) – 1946.
3.Finn Family Moomintroll (Originally: Trollkarlens hatt) – 1948.
4.The Exploits of Moominpappa, Some editions: Moominpappa's Memoirs (Originally: Muminpappans bravader/Muminpappans memoarer) – 1950.
5.Moominsummer Madness (Originally: Farlig midsommar) – 1954.
half-dozen.Moominland Midwinter (Originally: Trollvinter) – 1957.
7.Tales from Moominvalley (Originally: Det osynliga barnet) – 1962 (Curt stories).
8.Moominpappa at Body of water (Originally: Pappan och havet) – 1965.
nine.Moominvalley in November (Originally: Sent i november) – 1970 (In which the Moomin family is absent).
I think I've read odd ones of them, and then they don't demand to exist read in guild.
Thank you Fire 
. That means we've got three books missing from our collection because nosotros haven't got Moominpappa at Ocean either.
I think nosotros'll just dive in with Comet in Moominland (the beginning ane from your list that we have) and enjoy. I don't retrieve reading them when I was a child, merely DH says he did but couldn't retrieve which ones. They wait wonderful. Tin can't expect to get started
What a coincidence I accept but bought my start e'er Moomin volume for my 8 year old dd today. Information technology is 'Finn Family Moomintroll' didn't realise at that place was an order. I also tin can't wait to read it with her.
Moomin books are amazing. DH has been reading them to DD for 5 years. 1 affiliate a nighttime and they go along going through the books, It`s kinda their thing.
Moomins are fabled and the stories are wonderful! Very 'quirky' - adults will read a lot into them; plenty of deeper meanings and moving comments virtually family and relationships. Children volition love them for being such colourful, free-thinking characters. I adored Moomins as a child and am now re-living their globe through my girl's enjoyment of the books. The writer and creative person, Tove Jansson, was a genius - excellent documentary about her life on TV over Christmas. catch it if you lot can. Enjoy the Moomin magic :-)
having read a few of them - Finn Family Moonintroll is the easist to follow. We/I have read Moominsummer Madness and Moominland Midwinter and they are a little odd and harder to follow.
I do love them though and her adult books are fab also.
That'southward interesting what you said virtually Moominland Midwinter cazzybabs. I idea it was only my reading of information technology, only I thought Moominland Midwinter was a picayune hard to follow and DD said she didn't sympathize a lot of information technology. So, on reflection, non the best one to start with then .
Nosotros'll give Finn Family unit Moomintroll a go and run across if that's more enjoyable. I'm reading Tove Jansson'due south A Winter Book at the moment and enjoying that much more.
Oh I love the moomins. The character s are great. Snufkin, and the Snork Maiden and Little My and the sad, cold Groke
I dear the Moomins. I frequently read the Moomintroll'due south birthday picture volume to DS (5) and tin can't wait until nosotros can read the mre 'grown upwards' ones!
I love moomins! Very special books.
I also dearest Tove Jansson'due south books for adults - The Summer Book is stunning.
I loved reading A Winter Book recently and picked upward a copy of The Summer Book this afternoon during a clemency shop browse. Very much looking forward to reading information technology I hadn't realised Tove Jansson had written so many books for adults too until recently. She'southward definitely becoming a favourite writer for me.
I didn't similar the Moomins as a child, but I love The Summer Book! I read it a while ago, just recently bought A Wintertime Book and am looking forward to that. I actually wish she'd written more for children in the aforementioned vein as The Summertime Book.
We beloved the Moomins, merely I wouldn't read Moominpapa at Ocean or the November 1 to my kids at the moment - they are quite nighttime and adult in their themes. We've read all the others several times though. In that location's a proficient CD version of Finn Family Moomintroll too with Hugh Laurie reading. Great for a long car journeying!
The Moomins are utterly insane but completely lovely.
Trivial My has to be the best children'due south book character proper name ever
