Who Will Comfort Toffle?

London: Ernest Benn, Limited, Bouverie House, Fleet Street, EC4, 1960, 1st UK, printed in Finland by Werner Soderstrom OsakeyHtio, translated from the Finnish by Kingsley Hart; red boards, in jacket with all the characters standing around looking puzzled against a deep blue sky and blue flowers, 8.25x11. Picture Book hardback.

Lonely Toffle wanders through Moominland until he finds a note from a Miffle in a floating bottle. She is even more frightened and alone than he is and he gains courage and happiness in his quest to save her. Quite an astounding book by artist/Moominwriter Tove Jansson, with beautiful colours filling the entire page with strange and loving characters and wild vegetation.
