Moominland Midwinter

Blurb

Moominland Midwinter is the fifth in the series of Tove Jansson's Moomins books, published in 1957.
This book sees Jansson adopt a darker, more introspective tone compared to the earlier books that is continued in the remainder of the series.
Often in the book Moomintroll is either lonely, miserable, angry or scared - the result of being forced to survive in a world to which he feels he does not belong.
While preserving the charm of the previous novels, the story involves a more in-depth exploration of Moomintroll's character than before.
Moominland Midwinter forms the basis of episodes 22, 23 and 37 in the 1990 TV series.
