JANSSON, Tove. Hur Gick Det-Sen? Sweden: Gebers (printers: Copenhagen: S. L. Møllers Bogtrykkeri). no date [c.1967].
8vo. Illustrated card covers with cut-outs to front and back covers; pp. [24 (unpaginated), illustrated in colour throughout]; toning to covers but internally very clean and bright; very good.
A truly charming book featuring the beloved character, Moomin.
Hur Gick Det-Sen begins when Moomin has been sent to fetch milk for his mother, but on the way back to Moominmamma, he runs into Mymble. She is searching for her sister, Little My. Together, Moomin and Mymble venture into the sometimes unsettling woods to find her. The book is beautifully designed, and the die-cut printing makes the reader feel as though they are peeping through the woodland along with Moomin.
The book was first published in 1952, and this is a later edition. The story has been enjoyed by many generations, and in 2017, Moomin Character Ltd. created an interactive exhibition in Sweden where visitors were physically able to climb through an enlarged version of Jansson’s story.
