In the second volume of Tove Jansson's humorous yet melancholic
"Moomin" comic strip, we get four new stories about jealousy,
competition, child rearing, and self-reinvention. The Moomins try
to hibernate in the fashion of their ancestors but insomnia places
them smack-dab into a winter carnival with the winter-sports-loving
Mr. Brisk. The fickle and eternally lovestruck Mymble and
Snorkmaiden find themselves in competition over a thrilling new
man. Moominmamma meets her new neighbor, the Fillyjonk, causing her
to hire the depressed and secretive Misabel as her new maid.
Mymble's mother arrives on the Moomin family's doorstep with her
seventeen new children. Finally, a prophet arrives on the scene
declaring that the happy Moomins are in fact not happy at all and
need to get back to nature and be free. Moomin, of course, becomes
more and more miserable the freer he gets.
