[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 346578, member: 5833"]I do not know this book, will have to look into it. A series of books I like very much are the Moomintroll ones. Had a few chapters of the first one in an anthology as a kid, but couldn't get hold of the complete book & the others until I was a young adult. They are delightful & seem to be almost unknown in the US. I have introduced some people, child & adult, to them but have never met anyone who knew them already unless they were Finnish. Not too surprisingly, the characters are very popular in Japan. Surprisingly, Disney has not got hold of them, nor the plush toy makers. This character, known as Little My in English, is the very embodiment of contrariness: [IMG]https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YJIl9wzo37k/Wc36pzE59uI/AAAAAAAABH8/fEs0ZdUnKHsflI2TJDgWHfy8h2Tojc6qgCLcBGAs/s1600/Myy.png[/IMG][/QUOTE]
