Now I have a complete set again

December 19, 2023

I used to own all of these, but many have moved in with friends and family. Actually I don't think it's quite the complete set -- didn't Tove Janssen write a novel before Comet -- but it's a good start

Perfect for family reading

April 27, 2020

I got these to read to my kids because we're all inside more often right now and I remembered liking them as a kid myself. The order shipped quickly and everything was in perfect condition and the books are just as entertaining as I remember, both kids were enjoying the first book so much they asked me to read again during the day tomorrow, not just for bedtime. Perfect for all ages.

Pros

The books look great, they shipped quickly, came in perfect condition, it's awesome to be able to buy them as a set.

I can't wait to dig into these over the upcoming months, it's been years since I read them last.

Great collection

December 6, 2017

Great collection of all of the Moominbooks for children, or adults who had them as children but lost them, gave them away, or kept them and read them until they fell apart, like me!

Pros

Good quality binding.

Cons

The books are only wrapped together in plastic, and they should come in a hard paper box (like other collected books) to make them more attractive as a gift.

By Esther

Fast delivery and books in great condition

April 27, 2015

Haven't read the books yet but so happy that I can get the whole set and in such great condition plus fast delivery!

Awesome books!

January 17, 2014

I read these as a child and was asked to bring a favorite book to a baby shower of our good friends, so this was a perfect, well-priced set. I plan on sending a book on the baby's birthday every year until she turns 8. I love the drawings in these, and the stories themselves. Of course I plan on re-reading them first!

These unfortunately do not come in a box set. We sell them either individually, or have offered all 8 together for ease of purchase.

Gary

from North Easton, MA (USA) asked:

July 11, 2017

Is the "Moomin Books - Set of 8" a "new" product or "used" product? The 3 reviews read as if the product was delivered in (excellent) used condition. I only ask because I would only be interested in purchasing "new" product (English version).

1 Answer

These are NEW from the printer books. They are paper back, so they are referring to the shipping condition on arrival - that they arrived not damaged from shipping.
