making Jeff Vandermeer jealous
a birthday gift from my sister Rachael
There’s no two ways about it — Moomins ROCK!
I’m flat out with the tedious nitty-gritty of multiple book production at the moment (the page laying stuff not the writing stuff) so sadly I have no time for reading. First thing I’m doing when the books go to press is lying in the sun on the banana lounge and reading this.

Vol 3 should be out any day. It’s an awesome series — Drawn & Quarterly have done a masterful job with it.

I’ve kept meaning to get this, but I haven’t got around to it. (I do have a couple of the original Swedish volumes, but they’re just not the same.)
Er – is there any chance this will accompany you to Conflux?

I have this too, Iain got it for me for last Christmas. It’s wonderful.
Should I tell you that lovely, but expensive Moomin stuff is available at DJ’s in the city? Also, there are lovely moomin glasses available on the net? I’m not posting the link unless it tempts you. When my credit card is healthy again, then I might order some….

You can look at my copy when you visit.
So, you're a Moomin fan too? Yet another thing we have in common. Are you sure we weren't siblings in some past life?
