Comet in Moominland, the first full-length Moomin novel, was published 80 years ago. Tove revised the story a decade later and again in 1968, reframing adventures (and adding new characters). Now for the first time this edition can be read in English, in a brand new translation. Tove Jansson''s story of a mysterious, threatening comet, and the journey of discovery by Moomin and his friend Sniff across the Lonely Mountains, has captivated generations of readers across the world. The story introduced much-loved Moomin characters, including free-spirited Snufkin, the philosophical Muskrat, the intuitive Snorkmaiden, obsessional Hemulens and strange Hattifatteners. Tove Jansson wrote her story in 1946 and its themes evoke both the threats and devastation of war and a determination to have fun whatever. Or as Snorkmaiden observes, ''We began talking about dancing. Suddenly you started talking about the comet. I''m still talking about dancing.''
