Commentary To Books Who Will Comfort Toffle? (Moomin Picture Books)
A SCANDINAVIAN MIDCENTURY CLASSIC BACK IN PRINT
Who Will Comfort Toffle? is the timeless, magical tale of the wistful wallflower, Toffle–too shy to speak to anyone and too fearful of the world he is watching from afar. Lonely and sad, Toffle runs away from home and watches the magical cast of Moomin Valley—Mymble, My, Snufkin, the merry whompses and the Fillyjonk—celebrate and enjoy life. His insecurity continues to only serve his isolation until he has the courage to overcome his fears by reaching out to another frightened introvert, the mesmerizing Miffle. Who Will Comfort Toffle? is an endearing, introspective story that will speak to readers of all ages—anyone who has ever needed a friend to pull them out of their shell.Joining Drawn & Quarterly’s archival series of Moomin The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip, Moomin, Mymble & Little My, and the Moomintroll chapter books is the glorious reprinting of the Tove Jansson classic children’s book Who Will Comfort Toffle? with a loving translation by British poet Sophie Hannah.

lots of fun rhyming going on hereSWEDISH REVIEW further down! This was not just a book, this was an experience.I marvel every time I read something by [author Tove Jansson | 45230], by how much I actually admire and love her writing. Her way of writing and describing, she paints feelings with words. I didn't even react to the fact that the whole book was in rhyme, for it seemed so natural in the story.Should perhaps add that I never read this before, not now either. I listened to it (in Swedish):
Love this Book - a real adventure with a valuable lesson about friendship!This book has it all - a fabulous narrative, fun characters, amazing settings, and poetry. The translation works well for us and we have read this book many times. We also love the book about Little My that ends with Mama giving Moomin and friends beautiful berry juice. Just fun and simple and the drawings inspire little imaginations. Moomin and Friends rock!
The one star is from the childhood me - I didn't fancy this book at all as a kid. I think it scared me, and I also think that I didn't like the style of the writing or the drawings and I have a hunch I won't like it now either. Have no intention really to reread in now, and I think my childhood opinion is suitable enough for a children's book.
I have no idea when I saw this little classic first, but it must have been in early childhood. When I saw it again as an adult, all these picture memories came back ... what a classic this is. And beautifully made by Sort Of Books.
This wonderful book tells the story of Toffle who is so shy he cannot bear to spend another night in his house so packs his case and runs away. The rhyming text takes us through the world Toffle inhabits, where we spot many familiar Moomin creatures in colours I would expect to dislike but am strangely attracted to here, ginger brown, a dark baby blue, olive green, yellow, peachy pink, red and grey. Toffle moves away from the hustle and bustle to find Snufkin playing his silver flute in summer's
Absolutely lovely, both the hand-written-like text (I read the Finnish translation), the story, and the pictures. Having been a shy kid like Toffle, I would have needed this story 20 years ago. Well, better late than never!
