Muminki ABC

This beautiful, beautifully published book is an invitation to the world of Moomins, and at the same time a guide to the subsequent letters of the alphabet.

The poems, written by the famous Swedish-Finnish poet Annika Sandelin and creatively translated by Katarzyna Huzar-Czub, are a real feast for lovers of the Polish language, both the very young and the slightly older ones. The charming, wise, and at the same time light texts talk about characters well known to Tove Jansson fans, as well as heroes living in the distant corners of the Moomin world. The youngest will find in them encouragement to learn more difficult words that are absent from everyday language, and the older ones will find a deeper meaning and an inspiring message, and above all, an encouragement to return to Tove Jansson's original work and her astonishing knowledge of human nature.

The original illustrations and letters of the alphabet used here were based on Tove Jansson's graphics, and the atmosphere of her stories can be found on every page of this extraordinary book.
