Narration As Books Moominpappa's Memoirs (Mumintrollen #4)

Before he had a family, before he met Moominmamma, Moominpappa led a life of adventure and intrigue. But he's never told his story until now.
Now Moominpappa has a bad cold, and it's the perfect time to remember his youthful endeavors and to ponder the Experiences which have made him the remarkable Moomin he is. As he reads each chapter aloud to Moomintroll, Snufkin, and Sniff, they, and we, learn of his triumphs and tribulations, and his momentous meetings with the Joxter, the Muddler, and a cast of other characters too incredible (especially Edward the Booble) to list here.
"Moominpappa's Memoirs" has never before been translated into English, and Farrar, Straus and Giroux is proud to be able to add this title to its other Moomin books.

Notice Based On Books Moominpappa's Memoirs (Mumintrollen #4)

Depending on your point of view, I have either read this book twice (once twenty years ago, and once last week), or I've read two different books one time each. Moominpappa's Memoirs is a revised edition of The Exploits of Moominpappa. It seems Jansson went back and rewrote and added bits to the original not long after its first English translation was published. The English language publishers apparently chose to pretend this hadn't happened (it must indeed have been quite vexing for them) and

Over the first three Moomins books, Moominpappa can been seen quietly working away at his memoirs. Here, we finally get to read the fruits of his labour.The youthful adventures he recounts are great fun, enhanced by the usual vivid descriptions of nature. The reactions of Sniff and Snufkin as they hear about their parents for the first time are sweetly moving and the ending is downright romantic. "Life is short," says Moominpappa, "the world is enormous."The illustrations are as beautiful as

As far as Tove Jansson's work goes, Moominpappa's Memoirs may be better suited for the more mature and philosophical children (or nostalgic adults like myself). It's definitely not a bedtime read. But in my opinion no other book in the Moomin series captures quite so well the pure whimsical delight of Jansson's imagination. In fact, it's the only one that's ever brought a tear of joy to my eye.For those who have read and enjoyed other Moomintroll books, don't be discouraged by the absence of

Of the three Moomin books I've read so far, this one is the deepest and most philosophical. That probably makes it the most "adult" of these alleged children's books. Of course, they've all got traces of wisdom and philosophy in them, but it really emerges here, where Moominpappa sets out to write his life story. Like the other books, it's warmly absurd and imbued with deep emotion. Moominpappa considers himself quite special, born under important stars, resulting in an expressed desire for

3.5 stars Moominpappa's Memoirs is really a story within a story, in which Moominpappa is telling the story of his adventurous youth to Moomintroll, Sniff, and Snufkin. During Moominpappa's travels, he meets the eccentric characters who would become the parents of Sniff and Snufkin, as well as his own future wife. Moominpappa's Memoirs is of course quite funny and creative at times, introducing some fun new characters. The ghost, Edward the Booble, and the bossy Hemulen Aunts are entertaining,

Not my favorite Moomin book but not bad. Moominpappa's language and reminiscences are extremely melodramatic as he recounts his youthful adventures. I worried I'd get tired and not finish the book, but after a while it grew on me and started to feel silly (as intended) instead of just pompous.From the Polish translation, p.74:- Dlaczego [tak zrobiles]? - zapytalem.- Nie wiem - odparl szczerze. - Miewam czasem niezrozumiale pomysly.My loose translation of this charming admission:"Why [did you do

Cute cute cute. I listened to this on Spotify, Tove Jansson was narrating it and that was really good. It brightened up my time on the buss.
